My suggestion is you read up on the Tiananmen Square massacre of 1989.

The Brisbane suburb of Sunnybank exists largely because of the Protests of that time. This is where a large group of Students run to from the Chinese Goverenment and settled down.

Are you saying the people who live here are a mirage ?

I imagine these Chinese students were not expecting to live out their lives in a little City called Brisbane when the Protest started in 1989.

Please note this is a graphic image : https://www.alamy.com/file-the...

dissidents ?
These were hard working people who were trying to get on with their lives after a traumatic event.
They had no reason to lie and were meeting at a memorial for loved ones lost at the Tiananmen Square Protests / Massacre.

The Iraq war/wars are irrelevant.

Huh? What have you been smoking ???

I spoke to Students who were at the Tiananmen Square massacre in Brisbane in 1990's. Brisbane is where a large group of these Students came to and settled in a Chinese community / Suburb called SunnyBank.

I saw the tears in their eyes when they showed me the photos of the before , The excitement when they were getting on the Train to Beijing and then the sorrow when they were arriving home after they had been smuggled , couldn't go back to Uni as the Police were are at the dorms and also watching the train stations, to their home towns. I also saw the crushed pictures of crushed bicycles with an awful that blood around and people looking on in shock.

People were crushed by Tanks.

So according to your logic, or the Chinese Police perhaps ?, The fact that One Tank driver didn't want to drive over a protestor, means the rest of the Tank drivers didn't.

There are photo's of bodies crushed by Tanks in Tiananmen Square on the Net that disprove this misinformation.

What a silly thing to ask for, macabre even, The answer is no one except the very high up in the CCP knows.

We know it was at least 10000 as the British Ambassador Alan Donald was on record saying that he had been told that at least 10 000 people had died.

From the pictures I have seen , actual physical photos from people who were at the protests, There were thousands of people in the square when the tanks crushed the crowd.

You appear to be unaware that the Cultural Revolution was lead by Chairman Mao to regain power after the Disaster of The Great Leap Forward.

The Great Leap Forward was Mao's idea to Industrialise China by turning China's Rural Villages and Farms into Factory's.
Farmers not growing food lead to the second largest famine in History with estimates of the death toll of between 15 and 50 million people.

Unfortunately Chairman Mao and his Student revolutionary's the Red Guards succeeded.

The number of dead is more like 30 000. It was not an attempt to takeover it was a massive Protest.
The protest occurred because while great Economic change was happening, Political change was not.

Unfortunately Deng Xiaoping and CCP succeeded in suppressing the Protests.

Um ... Do you know what I am talking about ?

Reverse Osmosis is basically pumping water at high pressure through a membrane that has tiny holes that are smaller than salt particles can fit through.

Its because its using a pump to separate Salt from water not Heat that it uses much less Electricity than other ways of Desalination.

All you need is a supply of Electricity, there are even Reverse Osmosis devices that run off Solar Panels.

Its used on nearly every ship that travels long distances across the sea.

Not really, by using a Technology called Reverse Osmosis which doesn't require great amounts of electricity you can make large amounts of fresh water. The problem is the salt waste leftover ,called concentrated brine , which can kill fish and other aquatic life but this problem is easily solved by mixing the brine with seawater to dilute it to safer levels.

You can also Reverse Osmosis on waste water, which is what happens in Singapore and the people living there don't seem to have suffered any ill effects from it.

I would like to know is who would be silly enough to pay for the building of A New Nuclear Reactor even SMR 's, which have yet to put build for Commercial use, will be too expensive when compared to Renewables with Battery firming.

Nuclear Power only makes sense if you don't have to pay for the cost building the of the Reactors hence why Bill Gates would be looking at Three mile Island's just retired Nuclear Reactor.

This is getting pointless now.

The definition of Power is the amount of energy transferred or converted per unit time.

A Battery converts potential energy into Electrical energy so in this conversation using Megawatts (MW) to refer to the Capacity of the battery is correct.

This is how long is a piece of string territory ? so I will answer it the same :

How long do you want the Batterys to ?

Here jamesborr this may help you understand whats being talked about and hint its about the Capacity and Production :

UM .... Do you understand what is being talked about here ? I will refer you to what I typed before :

This is also what is used by the Power generation Industry to say how much a Power station can generate and Yes, Battery's are generators of Electricity.

Are you saying the Electrical Power stations and the Electrical Industry have this wrong ?
