"The Epstein War. The invasion of Iran is the biggest story on the
planet right now, and the scale of this criminal balls-up is hard to overstate.

While it unfolds, AustraliarCOs political class has rushed to clap along,
the Uni Party, all the way with Donald J, and his puppeteer Benjamin Netanyahu.

So what does it mean for ordinary Australians?

It means higher oil, higher energy bills, higher prices. It means
propaganda overload. It means Australia, although far away, is at risk.
It means the degradation of international law, American authority in the
world and Australia's prestige as a lackey for a pedophile regime."

Fine. Good riddance to the Ayatollah. The planet is better off w/o this
brutal theocrat. That much is clear.

But what is also missing towards achieving World peace:

*A good riddance to Netanyahu and good riddance to that senile old fart
orange painted Emperor in the White House.*

It looks like far right wankers do not care about the horrible carnage
and blood bath caused just as long as their perverse desire for World domination by illegal military interventions is getting step by step
closer. They could not give a flying fuck about the collateral death of millions of innocent people.

Shame on Labor for expressing full support for this kind of far-right extremist aggressive politics by war criminals. Albo has managed to
flush down the gurgler his own credibility as a centre right political
leader. Clearly his government has become unelectable for any self
respecting people on the political Left.

Australia has to import Gasoline and with the Iran war there is
presently 26 days supply left.
Not hard initially costly to turn Australia's offshore Natural Gas
into unleaded top grade Gasoline There is expense in building natural
gas to methanol, then to gasoline.
Australia spends approximately $10-15 billion AUD annually on gasoline
imports,

To me it's always been a security obligation, and $20 billion (which
is twice actulal my reckoning) is still massively cheaper than the
governments boondoggler Zero Carbon target gadgets.

Security Implications
..This shortfall heightens national security risks, especially with
potential disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz from Iran-related
conflict, as Australia lacks domestic refining capacity beyond two
aging plants.
..A $20 billion Gas-to-Liquids (GTL) facility converting offshore
natural gas to unleaded gasoline, could achieve self-sufficiency
faster and cheaper than scaling intermittent renewables under net-zero policies, providing a strategic buffer against import shocks.
..Government data confirms non-compliance with global obligations
since 2012, underscoring the urgency for onshore production over
export-focused LNG

To build a domestic Gas-to-Liquids (GTL) plant in say NSW Newcastle
would be built in one year.
(Labor Government approval possibly take longer, silly very costly
boondoggler Zero Carbon target gadgets more important?).

Importing pre-fabricated skid-mounted units from US firms like Velocys
or ExxonMobil (Pearl GTL precedent) enables parallel offsite
construction, reducing onsite work to 12 months,

Investing $20 billion in a Gas-to-Liquids (GTL) plant to convert
Australia's offshore natural gas into unleaded gasoline appears
economically viable compared to ongoing $10-15 billion annual gasoline
import costs, especially amid current 26-day stock vulnerabilities.

Payback Analysis
Annual savings of $10-15 billion could recoup the capital in 1.5-2
years, excluding operational efficiencies from domestic production and
avoided shipping risks in Middle East conflicts. Lifecycle costs for
GTL (including 30-40% energy loss) remain competitive against import
parity pricing tied to Singapore benchmarks, per AIP data

Not all of it is imported and it doesnt have to come frome the middle east

But can't be done that quickly

But it would be pointless given that the fucking
over of Iran won't be going on forever

and cheaper than scaling intermittent renewables under net-zero
policies, providing a strategic buffer against import shocks.

No such animal

That will do wonders for housing crisis.
