For those that missed tonights 7:30 report on the ABC (including me) here is a link to the latest update on David Mills’ relocation to the US…including a couple of well timed quotes from the usual Australian suspects. Seems the US utilities aren’t afraid of parting with a few billion in the name of progress…
“While Australia gears up for new coal-fired power stations, the US has taken a dramatic turn - setting its sights on the sun. Two of America’s biggest power companies have unveiled plans for a multi-billion dollar expansion of solar power supply. And the man behind it all is an Australian scientist who tried and failed to be heard here.”
Thanks for posting that Daniel. The interview with David Mills is very interesting. I wonder if they will be able to live up to the claims they are making in terms of competing with coal for base load generation.
Hey Daniel,
One point striked me is ” The man behind it all is an Australian scientist who tried and failed to be heard here.” You are right that lot of people have tried and given up in Australia and there are lots of examples of poeple not being recognized and moved away from this country. Our politicians here can learn good things also from American politicians. High time these people wake up.
