Good idea. Wind farms are extremely expensive to maintain, are unsightly, and are a major threat to migratory birds. Far better to aggressively pursue solar panels, especially now that the cost of production have gone way down in recent years.
If there's *anywhere* in the civilized world where solar *might* make sense it's Australia.If you travel 100 miles away from *any* part of their coastline you find *desert*.Some of the driest desert on earth...where you have 360 cloudless days a year.Add to that the fact that these desert areas are at latitudes where the sun's rays are strong and you have abundant free power.A country like that,with its small population (fewer than California) just might benefit from solar.
