Many Australian politicians and much of the Aussie media seem against solar energy.

I saw the Australian news complaining about power outages, then arguing against solar energy specifically. "When the sun goes down, solar stops and that's when people need it."

For one thing, the sun sets at 8:04 pm tonight in Sydney.

II would have thought that Australia would be an ideal case for solar uptake everywhere, with government subsidies for solar instead of coal.

In summer the power curve must be high demand during daylight hours for air conditioning.

For homes, a simple timer would start the air conditioners perhaps an hour before the occupants arrived.

May I wrong?
