Interesting... and Way Cool..... Wouldn't you love to travel 200 years ahead in a time machine to see what they came up with. It's probably going to be something as simple as in the movie "Back to the Future"... where he threw some garbage into a modified Mr. Coffee machine to power the DeLorean.
I hope I see the "new" energy in my lifetime.

Wow, that's pretty cool. I really hope they build it cos too many projects like this get canned for various reasons. We definitely need alternative energy sources until some clever clogs can figure out an easy way to create nuclear fusion.
I was also surprised at the price of land in Australia. $1 million dollars for a 25,000 acre farm.. bargain!!

I am very excited about solar energy. It seems to have made a bit more headway in Europe than in the US.
The systems I have looked at are not quite "there" yet. They are very costly; ugly and by local codes can only be used as a back up system to a conventional system. No client wants to spend the money to install one.
But I do believe that Solar power is promising.
