THE Australian State Government announced this week that Victoria would join Queensland and South Australia in offering an incentive for people to install solar power panels. Under the “feed-in” tariff for solar power, home owners will be paid more than three times the retail price for each kilowatt-hour of electricity fed into the grid from a rooftop solar power system.
In addition to increased adoption of renewable energy, feed-in tariffs can help build a local renewable energy industry. Germany now employs nearly 250,000 people in renewable energy, with 23,500 people involved in making solar panels.

This kind of political will is an example of what we need here in the US. Go Ausi’s! GO Citizenre!
With solar on our roofs we will not only save money, but make a HUGE contribution toward enhansing our economy and environment.
Peace,
