Solar power: It's California vs Australia

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

Australia plans to build one of the world’s largest solar power station networks in partnership with the private sector as part of its commitment to source 20 per cent of its needs from renewable energy by 2020.

Kevin Rudd, the prime minister, said the government would invest up to A$1.4bn ($1bn, €775m, £700m) in solar energy.

...

Australia’s plans mean it will join a global race to construct the world’s biggest solar plant. Earlier this year Southern California Edison, the US utility, signed up with a solar energy company to build a network of plants that would produce 1.3GW of energy, more than Australia envisages but which may take longer to finish.

...

Australia ... has struggled to develop a domestic solar power industry, with a number of infant solar energy technologies moving to more attractive markets such as California.

In which case the future will be down under.

The Morlocks will inherit the earth.
