Delivering on the potential of solar energy
|
We've been hearing about the potential of solar power for years now but so far it's failed to deliver. Adelaide is hosting a major talkfest on solar energy this week and we talk to some of the key speakers. If a recent issue of the 'New Scientist' is to be believed, then we might finally start to see real practical solar power delivered...and now Cooper Pedy looks set to get its own solar power station!
Guests
Brooke Miller - Regional director BP Solar - Australasia
Herbert Girardet - social anthropologist and cultural ecologist
Peter Droege - Chair of the World Council for Renewable Energy Asia Pacific
