Wow, I never would have thought Australia would lead America on policy. Queensland recently cancelled funding for previously approved renewable projects. ABC Article
On the other hand, more than 50% of private properties in South Australia have rooftop solar panels There is so much renewable energy that the wholesale electricity price frequently goes negative on cool summer days.
There may be some politicians working against us, but the majority of people are doing the right thing, and its making a pretty noticeable difference.
Au used to have power that was comparable in price to the USA. Since then it's gone up in price by several times. Used to be like 7 cents per kwh, now it's like 30 cents per kwh.
It's ok though, people can just trade houses between each other! That'll pay for all the solar panels!
And don't worry, Australia sells only the greenest coal to Asia (second largest coal importer on Earth), and as we all know, burning coal doesn't produce CO2 if it happens over there instead of over here! Putting the coal on a boat before burning is making a pretty noticeable difference.
Go Australia
