I have to say that I agree with both of you. As I said it was Easter Sunday when I visited. The drought is very severe over there.
My main point was that the Snowy scheme was an example of what a government can do but no government has though this big for 50 years but I think they they need to otherwise things are going to end up like Mad Max in 50 years here in Oz. As for being pumped storage I think only Tumut 3 is. The water is never returned back to Lake Jindarbyne (which was nearly empty BTW) once it has left.
I hope that no stone is left unturned in Australia in the next 20 years be it river diversions/hydro, solar, shale oil or tidal or whatever in the search for new energy sources.
Hmmm - Lake Jindabyne was almost empty last year because they emptied it so they could work on the dam.
I was there in February and water levels seemed pretty good...
