Australia has vast areas of desert and arid land, and much of its farmland is completely rooted too, and needs anything to help restore it. Solar panels help restore that land, bringing it to life again. Again, we should be the Saudi Arabia of the 21st century, with renewables. Our path to enormous prosperity. Instead the forces of old oil, gas and coal are determined to keep us chained to a couple of offshore countries, spending tens of billions on energy every year, when we have vast amounts of our own right here.
