    I wonder how many solar panels it would take to heat the boilers in the OP.

    I suppose we shouldn't complain too much, they might try and shove nuclear down our throats.

    Believe it or not but 5kms square will run Australia on peak time. It's the logistics of storage for night that's the killer.

    It's becoming more viable as the technology advances. Same as LED lighting.

    Go back 200 years and try to explain to someone the whole fossil fuel based system. From mining it, to refining it, to transporting all over the world to exactly how we derive energy from it. They would think you're crazy!!
    Go back 50 years and tell someone that you can carry a solar panel around on your car and power all your devices and they would think you were dreaming.
    Us humans are a clever bunch. Solar is the way for the near future (next 50 years)
    and one day nuclear fussion will power everything.

    It very well has the potential 2 be the future but guess what, once everyone converts over 2 solar the governments 2 be will find a sun tax or some other tax that will make it just as expensive.

    Governments don't care if we save money and try and do the right thing, its all about making money for them, has nothing to do with saving money for us or saving the future.

    Not talking about saving money, not talking about saving the future, just replying to you saying that solar is a no go and that i should go back to the drawing board


    We shouldnt complain too much about governments and bills though everyone, we live in THE BEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD!! Think of all the awesom-ness we can do everyday. Our 4wds, whether they be built for touring or hardcore crawling, are a testament to how much we all love this country...... damn i wish i could power my trol with a solar panel though!

    Would be a little cheaper than the fuel we're using!
