Ten percent of the area of Oz can power the Planet with Solar!
We don’t need fossil fuels and we don’t need nuclear!
Solar on every rooftop and batteries for everyone to soak up the excess.
High Speed Rail is a no brainer for Oz!
Vactrains even better!

ICE vehicles waste a whopping 80% of the energy in their fuel. Electric vehicles are propelled by entirely different mechanisms. Energy enters the vehicle as electricity, which directly powers the drivetrain: EVs need not convert one form of energy to another resulting in much higher efficiency.
