Australia Sells Out on Solar Power

Living in the sunniest country in the world, it always surprised me that there wasn't a solar cell on every house.

Now I know part of the reason why. Those climate change denying, coal loving politicians who run this country just didn't believe in one of the leading technologies underpinning solar power, developed here in Australia and sold to a German company, which has exploited it and is now exporting it back to Australia. This kind of short sighted thinking is very typical of this mob, where Big Coal is King.

My father in law built his house in Sydney with a big solar collector on the roof in the sixties. It was used for heating the hot water only, with a back up of course.
I would have thought it had become much more common in, as you say, the sunniest country in the world.

What about wind power? Has it been harnessed there at all? It's another thing I have wondered about for Australia,since I first saw it in California so many years ago.

Australia does seem to be very backward in coming forward...
