  1. I've read recently on Olympic Dam mine in Australia and that they use water from Great Artesian Basin (GAB). There are plans on building desalination plant and transport water from Spencer Gulf, but I wonder whether that GAB can actually replenish itself. I'm not a geologist, but I've read somewhere that upper mantle can actually be filled with superheated water and that it could be the actual source of all these artesian basins.

  2. I've just read a lot about Churchill Falls hydroelectric power station, it's in Labrador but still sells all of its electricity to Quebec. It seems like all the La Grande River power facilities still doesn't provide enough of cheap energy. I've also read about plans at continuing the power lines from Qeubec into US across Great Lakes and that all first nation people, indians and innu united to protest this effort. One of my professors was actually a head of our institute in the nineties when it worked on a project of self heating power lines for Canada. He was a great man, he was fond of depleted uranium, foldable circuit boards and thermoelectric cooling. I always wondered on how often do they have these snow storms which destroy power lines, only now I realized that these power lines goes from a lot harsher climates than where people actually live.
