A report led by the government of Australia alongside with the US based Clinton Foundation’s Climate Initiative, showed that Queensland’s current technological resources combined with its natural setting gives it the potential to top the world in the solar power industry.
The report aims to give solar investors an idea where to put their money and which city in the world is most viable with both technology& environmental suitability. Natural resources minister Stephen Robertson said that Queensland has vast potential not only in the residential sector of solar power but also in the commercial side.
The Clinton institute showed that Queensland resources are topnotch; incomparable in fact. The institute also gave credit to the state government for pushing large scale solar projects, particularly the CopperString project which will connect the grids across the top end of the state. The institute said that the line will pave the way to a lot more renewable energy investments in the future.
Queenslanders are pleased that the state is becoming internationally recognised for it’s renewable energy initiative’s and not only is solar power in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne (well known cities) progressing strongly but in all other cities and regions as well.
Primarily the state’s success lies in the support of the government and the public. Queensland is currently operating the most successful schemes in the country and the technology is well accepted in the state.
If this trend continues the state has the potential to not only lead the country but even the world in solar power technology, and become one of the least carbon emitting regions.
