There is trillions of dollars up for grabs looking at it from a more creative and opportunity viewpoint rather than a we only have we've got so we have to make polluting more expensive viewpoint.
I would like to see a more positive approach to the problem.
Only question would be where would the money come from? That would be a hot topic.
As far as a carbon tax and the proceeds going to projects like this - it would have to highly regulated as our petrol
tax was supposed to go towards roads and I doubt very much if more than a small fraction of that is actually going there but being used

Unfortunately the development of 2 systems are both from overseas companies. It is a shame that an Australian company has a working trial systems running in Spain and a couple of countries in solar updraft energy power generation and yet cannot see the government trialing this in Australia.
Logical statement but I don't think the Australian government are very illogical in using funds properly.
