ground reality of renewable

sir,india with population of 1200 million has poorest record in renewables,just 20 mw installed against 7,000 Mw installed in germany/Village people are forced to burn biomass for cooking leading to smoke related asthama health problem/2 million female die from cervical cancer as low cost sanitary napkins are not available and due to lower hierarchy of females in indian society,theYt can not afford high price sanitary napkins/do any body care for 17% of world population which is INDIAN/ POOREST

global warming alarm

Green house = green hoax

grid solar power damage grid on news.

look at the channel 7 news with grid solar power damage to the grid networks in SA. http://au.news.yahoo.com/video/national/watch/26923501/

Beholden, lethargic and blind............

From 7min to 7.30 min says it all........ "makes you independent.........from big companies..................from OIL..........FROM COAL..........FROM STRONG ECONOMIC POWERS....." Stand up now you useless lethargic western human population................. Take your freedom back........... And if you cant take it with the help of your politicians take it by force....... Here in Australia ASIO is spying on so called green activists ON BEHALF OF THESE SO CALLED STRONG ECONOMIC POWERS.

Why do you always compare yourself to China and India?

I was vert shocked to hear the reporter say that there is no use in trying for renewabl energy because China and Inda are not doing anything! It seems to be a popular reference as I hear this comment a lot. How ignorant of the rest of the world! Germany for example has been environmentally aware for decades now, and we get all the winds from Northern America carrying its pollution. We are also bordring on France which is full of Nuclear Pow Stations. but we still try.

Clean Green Energy ?

20 years ago in Queensland developers & the bank applied to build a GREEN housing estate to make a killing = $$$ The Council said NO, The State & Federal Government said NO It went to court again NO. 15 years ago 2 of my neighbors wanted to install rain water tanks each rang the council the answer was NO. 2 months later the shire was inform that backyard inspections would happen to see if we had rain water tanks & fines would be issued THE CARBON TAX is just another a GST AUSTRALIA IS BROKE

green energy ...

Intresting comments about how "experts" suggest that PV power will destroy the grid. I am sure these studies were paid for by trully independant bodies with nothing to gain from people not taking up green energy options. Fact: existing major power companys in australia will spend $100 million dollars in the next decade updating and replacing networks and equipment and they willhave NO problems passingthat cost onto its customers, not to mention the increase the carbon tax will add...... go green

Total SBS LIES & Propaganda

Once again SBS performs the role of ACTIVIST, promoting the standard distortions of the Eco-Fantasy of Renewables. The "Off the Grid" claim is IMPOSSIBLE, because of insufficient baseload power. So at night or in low wind, if this town connected Coal, can only reduce Co2 by approx 4% (Less is you consider Co2 in manufacture and up to 9% Loss from long transmission back to the grid). Only large public subsidies allows the credit for Solar & Wind power, as it intermittently drips into the grid.
