Bio

I was born in 1951. I married in 1981. I have 3 Children and 4 Grandchildren. Sadly, Barbara, my wonderful wife of 42 years passed away in April 2023, and I am now on my own. I joined the Royal Australian Air Force in 1967 and served for more than 25 years as an aircraft electrical and electronics technician on a variety of combat aircraft, and later in supervisory, administration, and man management positions. For the last 6 years I served as an electrical and electronics trade instructor at the Air Force's trade school, and as the senior electrical trade examiner. After discharge, I worked as a State licensed Workplace Health and Safety Officer with a printing company for 8 years. I am now retired, and I now live at Beenleigh. Originally, when I moved here to Queensland as a young boy of barely nine years old in 1960 with our family, Beenleigh was a medium sized town, around 20 miles or so to the South of the Queensland State Capital, Brisbane, and it was located on the highway to the Gold Coast. Now, Beenleigh is virtually a Southern suburb of Brisbane, as that huge city has expanded in all directions to swallow up all of those smaller towns. My interests include music, reading, and current affairs. I played Cricket for 25 years at senior grade level, and then lesser grades, moving into coaching junior and senior teams. I started contributing at this Blog site in March of 2008, contributing posts mainly about electrical power related subjects and the ramifications that might eventuate if we are to believe the Climate Change/Global Warming lobby. My opinion is that there is Climate Change, but the emissions of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) play only the most minimal of roles, if any, on that Climate Change. I also post extensively on the use of Renewable sources for the generation of Electrical Power, and how these Renewable Power Plants can only supply marginal amounts of Electrical power that cannot replace traditional methods of power generation, which actually can supply their power on the 24/7/365 basis that it is required.
