I have contributed articles on Australia's outback and renewable energy to international magazines.
As well as that, I have built and lived in a low energy house with both a solar hot water system and a PV system.
Whilst I agree with you about the steps we take, I also know from experience that there is nearly always another agenda underneath the politics that does not get talked about. The experience in Australia of setting the policy for renewable energy development right is nothing short of sloppy. The real expertise in this area has been sidelined for decades. But against that, consider one of the drivers for Germany to adopt a feed in tariff. Reliance on Russian gas.
