The Thams Family Park on the Broadwater and the Gold Coast Hwy at Southport... is the first stage of the Southport Broadwater Parklands Re-Development that is sandwiched between the Broadwater and the Gold Coast Highway, has just undergone a transformation... The most interesting part of this transformation is that this park has been made energy self sufficient... harnessing the energy of the sun by means of array's of Photo-Voltaic Cells... This is the right step forward... an absolutely essential step in our battle with global warming... The widespread use of Photo-Voltaic Cells, is one of the best ways of generating electricity without producing extra heat in the process.

If we are to come to terms with... and indeed survive global warming... we must urgently phase-out all means of generating electricity that requires HEAT to generate the electricity... Only Photo-Voltaic Cells, Hydro, Wind, Wave and Tidal meets this absolutely essential requirement of generating electricity.

We congratulate the Gold Coast City Council and Mayor Ron Clarke for the foresight and leadership that they have shown in bringing this project to fruition... Hopefully, this is one of many more to come... to prove Photo-Voltaic Cell technology and make it ubiquitous... applied to every building and structure on the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia... and the rest of the World...

The widespread use of this solar technology can enable us to generate five times as much energy as is currently used (all sources combined)... This energy will enable us to produce and deliver the water needed to re-establish all the vegetation that has been lost due to Man's ignorance... The vegetation that nature NEEDS to regulate Earth's temperature and climate... To store the excess solar energy, that is now heating the Earth, due to a lack of vegetation... To store the excess solar energy through photosynthesis... as nature has done in the past... Photosynthesis that produced all the stored solar energy, that we call FOSSIL FUEL'S... Fossil fuels that are NO LONGER being produced... Because, Man in his lack of wisdom, stripped the Earth of the vegetation and conditions that produced these fossil fuels -- STORED SOLAR ENERGY !!!

I am very interested in your feedback... So, please add your comments below !!

Meet just a few of the animals and people who have been a part of SOAR, the Southport/Oak Island Animal Rescue. You'll meet Captain Jack, a dog that was shot and left to die before being rescued by one of our volunteers; Sadie, a dog found in horrible living conditions with a broken, useless leg and covered by fire ants; and Saint, an unwanted dog who became a best friend and service dog to a paralyzed young man. You will also read about a tragedy that occurred when pit bulls gained access to our property and cattery. These stories will give you a glimpse of life, and death, inside a small country animal shelter.
