Oh, how quaint, you have your own language. Looks quite a lot like english, but isn't!

So you don't believe energy is fundamental to addressing climate change? Or, you think wind and solar are adequate to meet the challenge?

Really? I thought I'd be okay with a shovel, a bit of old hose, and the motor from a washing machine!

Might I suggest you move to Iceland - the frozen foods supermarket!

Australia has about 10 miles of prime real estate by the beach, and no water inland. So where are you going build this thing, and how will you get the energy to where its needed? You cannot build a heliostat within a hundred miles of civilisation. Birds burst into flames at the mere mention of the word heliostat. Also, at the risk of harping on about it, Australia exports 350 million tonnes of coal to Asia per year, to produce electricity. A solution for Australia alone, isn't a solution. It's not win win so much as - win the battle and lose the war!
