Cool Up With Solar Power
Yes, it looks like the Aussies are really focused on saving the environment and making full use of what Mother Nature has given us. One group, the Royal Australian Institute of Architects, is looking at having air conditioners that run on solar power be used all across the huge continent.
According to the group, such a move would actually help Australia lessen the amount of greenhouse gas emissions. And what they are doing is that they are actually campaigning and asking their federal and state governments to listen to their plea.
David Hallett is the current state manager of Archicenter Victoria and he says, “Energy authorities have been warning for years that the explosion of power hungry air conditioners in Australia threatens the stability of the electrical grid during peak power demands during summer.” He even does add, “When demand is at its highest, potential solar energy supply is also at its highest. This is a natural association and should be a key strategy.”
