Adelaide to become solar city

Adelaide to become solar city, says PM :

"He said Adelaide was a natural choice as a solar city given the demand on its electricity network from the growth of air-conditioning in homes and its abundant sunshine."


And the fact our electricity is supplied from interstate! What a farce that has been. I forget the exact arrangements of it, but on hot days we have plenty of black outs which wasn't the case when we supplied our own electricity. That aside, it makes sense to use a city our size to trial solar heating. We can work through some of the issues and installation details. We are big enough to look at how it affects costs. It's a great idea and we are ususally pretty enthusiatic about endorsing good technology and, given our size, communicating about new things works easily so there is usually an effective induction period for new ideas and gadgets. There is then an easier way of getting solar energy into place into the bigger cities without any time consuming logisticial problems and communcation break downs.
