Hi Graham,

Sorry, I don't have the figures.  I would think that a solar power plant in 
each city and town would be better than a massive centralised plant. This 
would have the benefit of reducing the maze of powerlines that criss-cross 
our country at present, which kill many birds, especially Black-necked 
Storks, Brolgas, Black Swans, Australian Pelicans and ibis.  Every house or 
commercial building could support a panel or two.  Some solar powered houses 
are presently transferring their excess power back into the grid.  It is not 
pie in the sky and the technology has advanced greatly in recent years.
Re. cutting back on our demand for power, I appreciate that it is like 
pushing a snowball uphill but we have to set an example and I do believe in 
the power of one.  We may not be able to change people's attitudes but we 
certainly won't if we don't try.
