According to news.com.au
reporting about the Australian federal budget for 2009, Australia will
be spending up to \$1.5 billion over the next nine years to build up to
4 massive solar power plants. Plans for these solar power plants are on
a scale the world has never seen before.
These massive solar power plants could produce up to 1000 megawatts of electricity. These solar power plants my be either photo voltaic plants or solar thermal power plants.
Finally the K. Rudd government seems to be honouring one of their election promises by supporting clean energy production.
Disappointingly up to \$2 billion will be spent on building conventional coal power plants incorporating "Clean Coal" technology that doesn't yet exist. NeeravBhatt has given a nice analogy for the term "Clean Coal" in one of his updates on Twitter by highlighting that "Clean Coal" is a bit like "Friendly Murder".
