The one thing Australia has is gigantic quantities of sun and vast spaces of
"outback" - so vast that the biggest concentrating solar power plants
(focusing mirrors) would have effectively no significant impact on habitat
or species, so just about all greenies would support them.
However, distributed micro-generation ticks a lot of sustainability boxes so
domestic scale cold fusion/LENR devices would have a lot of advantages. I
don't think there will be any one solution to future energy supply. Until we
can realise CF/LENR technology which doesn't destroy the (expensive)
lattice/matrix that supports it, I don't think we can expect energy "too
cheap to meter" too soon.
