Post subject: Largest Solar Station in Australia. | |

As you all know, I think climate change has as much cred as the tooth fairy and the Easter bunny, but the Solar farm on the site I work at is pretty impressive & will save the company millions in diesel costs over the life of the mine.
Well done Sandfire Resources NL!

Spoiler alert: there is.
But yeah, as you say, any shift towards renewable energy is a good thing regardless of what you happen to believe about climate change, evolution or the curvature of the earth. _________________ "Every time we witness an injustice and do not act, we train our character to be passive in its presence." – Julian Assange |

I've never listened to a word Al Gore said on anything. I'm more interested in the perspective of climate scientists. _________________ "Every time we witness an injustice and do not act, we train our character to be passive in its presence." – Julian Assange |

Talking of solar energy I was working with a couple of electricians from a well known solar installer. They have been working on a project on a rice farm in NSW as subcontractors and they claim that they are installing a total of 40,000 Q cell panels. They are spread all over the property to run different machines and processes. _________________ Now Retired - Every Day Is A Saturday |

The ferry's that go to Alcatraz from San Francisco have the back deck roofed with solar panels which run all of the electrics on the boat, not the motor. _________________ Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down. |
