Desalination Plant

The Advertiser: Desalination to meet demands of Olympic Dam :

"'It's a very exciting project with the potential to provide water to a very water deficient part of South Australia and provide sustainable economic development,' he said."

Yes!!! This is a good example of companies laying the groundwork for projects to help the general population and WMC has had regular occurences of the opposite! Hopefully, this will undo some of their less environmentally friendly history. Building a plant like that will also give us a chance to work on desalination. We have talked about it for a long time but never really committed to it. This could herald a new era in water treatment and supply which we could do with given the size of our continent. Far better when corporations work with us than against us because no one minds people trying to build business and make a living. Nobody minds people employing people. It's the take,take, take who cares what happens to you and your land which is the problem.
