Looks like the tide has turned in one of the largest coal producing countries,

With the annoucement on BBC Radio this morning of the construction of the worlds biggest PV powered power station to be built ready in years with enough power to provide 45,000 homes?

Just means they can export more of their coal to Europe /Asia. Newcastle Docks is undergoing major expansion work to get more bulk carriers in and out with loads of hunter valley coal

That said good on em. If Australia cant develop its renewable resources we are finished! Slightly surprised by the location. Insolation levels are much better in the Adelaide and perth regions.
