A bright solar future

Solar energy is an industry that has evolved, and will continue to evolve, like no other.  At it’s heart are two basic concepts: the essential need of energy, and human curiosity. It’s clear that we all need energy, and therefore all and any steps to reduce the cost of energy using solar power will benefit the whole world, a double win that reduces air pollution and improves living standards. At the same time, for many people it improves energy independence (for island nations for example), delivers access to clean water (solar...

The government is hell bent on stopping these renewables, even thought they don’t cost the government budget one cent. So, they put a climate change sceptic and former coal power station boss on a committee to rule on whether renewables are worth supporting! Surprise!!  The former fossil fuel fanboys have...
