This is how much space we need to power all Australia with solar.
Yes, the little black dot.
While 6000 km² isn't insignificant, most of that could be done using rooftop solar. We will also have wind power, and the rest could be Agrivoltaics (solar designed to work in tandem with farming)
And all for the price of one submarine.

@MrLee All for the price of one submarine!!! Can you confirm that? Give numbers?
@rwalker1501 I can confirm that I am wrong!
I guess if that money was used to incentives investment I might be right but this is story is more accurate

For $100 billion, Australia could have a low cost and reliable zero emissions grid

An investment in major transmission lines linking Australia’s best wind and solar resources could deliver reliable and cheap and clean electricity.

@MrLee But it would have been nice if you were right 🙂
