    Especially in Australia, where there’s an insane amount of empty nothing to place wind turbines. Northern Australia gets twice as much solar irradiation as western Europe, it’s absolutely ideal for (rooftop) solar.

    Economies of scale and “high density” power generation make sense for some places, but even a place with the population density of the Netherlands can cram in enough wind turbines to get a significant fraction of renewable energy. It should be a total no-brainer for Australia.
