    "You studied physics, obviously not energy physics"

    Please enlighten us what is energy physics? There is the science of physics, which the concept of energy is part there of. Which is what I studied in uni and work in a related field of. But what is this whole new science of "energy physics" you speak of? This will be fun!

    "Australia cannot power its self via solar and wind, the costs are prohibitive, the land area required is enormous, and even then, the power can be produced at a fraction of the cost by coal, gas and nuclear."


    Lucky for Australia we are an island and we can build offshore farms and not even take up a square meter of land, if we chose to. Floating solar panels over water keeps them cooler and more efficient. Wind turbines over water can be made much larger and therefore produce much much more energy.
