According to Professor Mark Diesendorf, it is feasible for Australia’s electricity to be supplied by 100 per cent renewable energy- here’s how. In the past, relying on renewable energy as a sole power source was seen as far too risky because of the variability and uncertainty of the weather.

The first markets for the Tesla Powerwall have been named, and Australia is one of them, with deliveries expected in 2015. This highly anticipated and much sought after residential battery storage system has been described by Tesla CEO Elon Musk as changing the “entire energy infrastructure of the world”.

Recent research suggests that solar energy within Australia is fast becoming the nation’s preferred energy source as opposed to the coal generated energy system. With some of the best conditions in the world for sun energy production, studies have further revealed various advantages that positively impact both health and the environment.
