The explosion in wind farms and solar rooftop panels in homes - TopicsExpress



          

The explosion in wind farms and solar rooftop panels in homes across Australia has already cut the demand for electricity and left them with gold-plated infrastructure that can no longer be justified. #auspol #ausvotes (A MUST WATCH!) For one Queensland company, the decentralisation of power production has been devastating: In the last five years of our generation business, weve made nothing. All this leaves the Federal Government in a difficult situation. If it decides to wind back the policy clock and downplay renewables, it will lose a high-tech cutting-edge industry while it props up old-style big polluters. As economist and author Jeremy Rifkin puts it, the choice is stark: Its ridiculous. Australias the Saudi Arabia of renewable energy. Theres so much sun, theres so much wind off the coast, and so it makes absolutely no sense when you have an abundance of renewable energy, [to] rely on a depleting supply of fossil fuels with all of the attendant consequences to society and the planet. abc.net.au/4corners/stories/2014/07/07/4038488.htm
