Perusing the wb as I sometimes do, I was heartened to come across this little snippet about YET another way Australia might reduce it’s dependance on coal powered electricity…but isn’t…YET.
Clearly the technology is available, it just isn’t being utilised, at least not to it’s maximum potential.
Clean, energy efficient, renewable energy from the sun, it is hard to argue against, particularly in a country with so much of it and likely to have even more if the CSIRO’s assesment of global warming is accurate. Read more »
Well I hope everyone in Australia is appreciating the $1 million per day (ALP Figures, not mine) that the liberal party is spending advertising their work choices BS.
