Australia has so much solar energy, they will be getting at least three hours of electricity every day for FREE.

Australia has enough solar power, and that solar power is so cheap, that now people who live there will get to have it for free. They will be, every afternoon, energy-rich. With just a little bit of care, they’ll be able to get done most of what needs doing for free. We’ve heard a lot of talk from American politicians and thought leaders this year about “abundance” and “affordability.” This is the best example of those ideas I’ve ever heard or seen. For the first time in human history, large numbers of those humans will have access to energy for free.

I predict that it will be among the more politically popular moves in history. I predict no one will propose repealing it. I bet that before long there will be Australian politicians running on five hours of free power.

And I predict that some astute American politicians will start using this remarkable development to point out the obvious and painful truth about our own country: that president Trump and the corrupt fossil fuel cronies that surround him have done everything they can to make sure Americans will never get to share in this kind of bounty. Not because we lack sunshine—because we lack politicians willing and able to make use of our ample sun and wind to get this job done.
