According to Geo-Science Australia " The Australian continent has the highest solar radiation per square metre of any continent and consequently some of the best solar energy resource in the world".
With pubic awareness and leadership, the west of NSW/QLD and northern VIC/SA and much of WA could be the *thermal-solar powerhouse of the globe.
*Heat significant quantities of super-saline liquid to well above boiling point.
Run a heat exchanger through them, make steam, drive a turbine.
With a big saline storage tank, thermal inertia means it works 24/7 i.e base-load power. No emissions. Not my idea. UNSW.
As for the cheap shots at myself for reducing my footprint to into negative territory....well...some mother's do 'ave em.
