All true pappy. I DO find it amazing that our government would CUT/ STOP rebating householders when they install PV cells and have that energy fed back to the grid. This is not suitable for ALL those in the Northern-hemisphere but fuck me dead this IS Australia! The amount of sunshine we get here can power the globe!! IF our government WAS serious and just not corporation-bashing-bullies they would take those $$ raised and feed it back into an established program. Oh it just burns me up at the lost opportunities and great ideas poorly executed by our current government. (They are a major embarasment firstly our PM tries to tell the Eurozone HOW to manage it's finances and then our Treasurer goes and INSULTS New Jersey and it's people! Talk about foot in mouth disease!!)
As for wind farms, they really need to be sited properly to be profitable. Like PV cells they have a huge manufacturing footprint that if they are not profitable then they ADD to the problem of pollution. The whole system is fucked and has degenerated into a mud-slinging match between various demographics who have no other interest than furthering their private (group's) agendas, thanks to the cherry picking of the science that is currently available. Is it any wonder that Mr & Mrs..(etc) Average Punter is just sick to death of the whole thing and can't be bothered??
@Stue...I have not heard of 'Love Canal' but there are many estates here in OZ that have been and still are being built on-top of Hazardous waste dumps. Our Olympic Park is one of them.
