I guess the shear quantity of land that AU has available for solar and wind takes away a lot of the issues for you guys?


Land cost isn't a strong limit on renewables even in Europe.


It's interesting that this country with all the spare land is also a world leader in rooftop solar.

That rooftop solar is delivering the cheapest consumer electricity in history.

Amazingly, the hardware costs and labor costs for rooftop solar are the same as the USA and sensible regulations around permitting and training have dropped the cost by 2/3rds.


Well it all does absolutely nothing to store energy.
