South australia would be an ideal state to build a solar tower...Just up past Port Augusta and you would have nearly all year round sunshine...
a couple of 100 megawatt towers would make some diference to south australias power needs, and be environmentally safer too...
that area is ideal for this type of power supply and would be able to supply power for a water desalinator...I know what water is like in Port Pirie(I never would drink it), as my family are from there.. Now south aussie would be the most suitable to go solar..In western australia and the territory and queensland all have ideal places for solar towers and can be built within easy distance of major cities and towns...
http://www.enviromission.com.au/ this is a Victorian proposal so far...
and

Thats just so far what i have found in the pipeline for australia, and these are both involving one private company...
