Sadly I think in a few years we will be importing a lot of this technology simply because we failed in invest early enough in this field. Here in Japan a small fortune has been invested in solar power, hybrid cars and biofuels etc. If we had to spend 42 billion dollars we should have focused on areas that would give us an edge coming out of this mess and diversified our economy. Getting a decent broadband network rolled out would help as well. Coffee Addict, I agree that a large chunk of the stimulus package should have been directed towards renewable energy technologies.

I am sitting here trying to articulate a strategic risk assessment that emphasises a need for ruthless simplicication of business process, improved customer service, and greater acceptance of integrated out of the box solutions. Yes. The stimulous billions should have been spent on bringing new technologies like this to market but, alas, the stimulous is to be largely wasted. From the package as it now exists, only the proposed education expenditure got my tick as it will pay back the future.

I believe it is the real deal. Of course a lot of money needs to be pumped in and we are still a few years off it becoming a recognized force. I hope Australia maintains its position at the forefront and shows the rest of the world how to do it properly and efficiently. The big hurdle is the govt funding challenge that solar energy development is facing right now. In Australia commercially, it is behind the 8 ball (with the rest of the world) due to our abundance of coal. If only we weren't spoiled for coal, we might have been at this stage 5 years ago! Let's hope the $ starts shifting to these cleaner energies sooner rather than later! I really look forward to this technology being developed and proving it worth. I believe it is the real deal.

SO $35,000 AUD LOL. THATS ALOT AND THEY BREAK LOTS. THERE IS A GUY IN AMERICA WHO INVENTED THIS TORCH THAT BLASTS THE GRANIT AND CLEANS IT SOMEONE SHOULD INVEST IN HIS IDEA ASWELL. MAKE IT EASIET TO DRILL THESE HOLES AYE. THATS ME OUT IM TIRED HAHAHA SORRY FOR THE BAD SPELLING HOPE SOMEONE READS THIS AND LIKES IT i think Geo thermal is our mark on the 21st centery. we will be remembered by this great discovery. well if the goverment would fund it to make it possible for all australians to know when the turn on a light that the source where its coming from is 100% clean energy. im buying shares in it. i dont have much money but i think all australian should put in a little and it will all count.. also there are other ways we can generate energy using the oceans currents i dont know why the goverment hasnt looked at build one of these. maybe the worlds first. pump water onland from the ocean for free and turn huge energy creating turbines which make the energy to power the desalanitation plant which makes fresh, clean, crisp free drinking water. im not well educated and im only 20 but how can i imagin the world we live in today will change and be worse in 20years when it should be better just because the goverment onli cares about money and not the peoples needs. its not something we want. this is something we need. our lives are build around huge energy demands. why could we live in the world where cars are run on compressed air from which was compressed with energy made from geo thermal stations. and fresh water from current powered water pumping stations. tell me why someone. let me guess the cost. why not invest in one for now and slowly switch over. like a smoker its hard to go cold turkey. we could slowly eliminate all the coal power plants and gas power plants and build new unlimited energy geothermal plants. and for the drilling problems with geothermal. drill bits cost $33,000 EACH USD.
