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... Rolleyes Big Grin 

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...

  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 Rolleyes
