Watch the video above. It’s quick, 90 seconds.
Then ask yourself, “Is it possible the future could be cleaner, quieter, more prosperous, more expansive, more humane, and more fun, than the present?”
Below, also from the University of Queensland, the largest solar PV array in Australia.
Did I hear that right: 1.22MWp the largest PV array in Australia? The ridiculousiness would be unspeakable. Germany has a few 50MWp+ PV arrays, not even in relatively sunny Bavaria, but in the north. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_power_in_Germany#Photovoltaic_power_stations
The “the largest solar PV array in Australia” only 1.2MWp? That would be utterly ridicu-lousy. The largest in Germany has 166MWp. It’s in the north, not even in relatively sunny Bavaria. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_power_in_Germany#Photovoltaic_power_stations
Ugh. Sorry for double comment. My glitch. Take your pick.
It remains to be seen what impact Tony Abbott’s gov’t will have on sustainable efforts Down Under but the initial rumblings are not encouraging.
Well Morin the descent into darkness starts today:
“Mr Abbott says he will immediately instruct the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet to prepare legislation to repeal the carbon tax.
He also says incoming treasurer Joe Hockey will instruct the board of the Clean Energy Corporation to cease operations.
It is also expected that the Climate Change Authority and the Climate Commission will be abolished.”

And to add insult to injury for the first time in many governments we don’t have a minister for science….but that’s ok we still have a minister for sport!
*deep sigh*
Will he appoint a Minister of Brushfires & Flash Floods? Or are those all a big hoax despite being visible from orbit?
