Australia Has First Solar City
Soon enough, you would be hearing about the new and the very first solar city in the whole globe. This one can be found in the Land Down Under. So which town is it going to be?According to Prime Minister John Howard, the Australian suburb of Blacktown has been the lucky town chosen to be the very first solar city. The prime minister further says that such a move has actually been done so as to show that people can battle greenhouse gas emissions.
Sure, the whole project is going to take a huge chuck out of the federal government’s budget. In fact, this first solar city is going to be built as part of a project that costs $15 million. Howard does say, “Solar power is part of the solution to the problem of challenging and responding to greenhouse gas emissions. It’s not the only solution but its part of the solution.”
