Building starts on our largest solar farm - Lilith7 - 28-08-2024
Very interesting photo of politicians - you have to wonder just how familiar any of that lot are with a spade, brand spanking new spades by the look of them, too...
Not that there's a problem with a solar farm in principle. Its just the quote down the page a bit, about how the solar panels are designed to 'observe' the sun rather than reflect it, so as not to cause problems for the nearby airport.

Well its a positive step in the right direction, solar farms could make good use of otherwise unproductive land, I hope we see more get built.

The Desert Road would be a good place for one. Or three.

The Mackenzie country down south would also be a good place for one, or more.

We northerners have to be careful though about energy. We use a lot. And most of it is generated by those southerners. If we slip up and really annoy them...

Indeed...there have been one or two suggestions from time to time...

If we slip up and really annoy them...Not a problem for the current government. They'll just import more LNG and charge the North Islanders through the nose for the generation that makes possible
