yes, your right same as with EVERY alternative energy idea. They havent been thought up in the last year, they are simply becoming a lot more viable because the carbon tax makes the cost of these new energy sources a little closer in comparison to traditional fossil fuels.

And leave me out of government bashing please. Conspiracy rants have been going on since federation.

Damn garment!! Dey took our jarbs!! (For the South Park fans).

Thats exactly right. People too easily turn it into an "us and them" situation when talking about the government.

This government is in real strife. They came into power with nearly 30b in the bank and blow the lot and some. There is only 35% of the au population that earns an income, including self funded retirees. Coal fired generators are still the cleanest and most efficient form of fuel, thats why they are used. Solar is unreliable and nuclear while efficient, what do you do with the waist. Plus everyone is scared of a catastrofy. This goverment needs revenue desperately and carbon tax is only an excuse.
