Remember the "space race" of the 60s?

An "energy race" may be in the works.



The Australian Government has announced in its recent budget a AUD$1.6 Billion investment in solar technologies, including a 1,000 MW of solar generation capacity, which is three times the size of the largest solar energy project currently operating anywhere in the world. They'll develop up to four individual generation plants on the national grid, both solar thermal and solar photovoltaic (PV) technologies.



Also to promote the development, commercialization and deployment of renewable technologies.


There is also a planned AUD$2 Billion investment in Carbon Capture and Storage (in my opinion the technology has yet to be developed beyond feasability to the level of environmental safety, practicality, overall efficiency, cost effectiveness. Any comments?)
