Crowded funded renewable energy

corenafund.org.au/

is collecting funds for the both small solar projects where they hand out $20k loans they also have the much bigger goal of $5mill for a solar thermal plant, if you don't know what a solar thermal plant is google then come for a trip to Newcastle to see the research ones (CSIRO has tours once a month) . they are the step forward for renewable energy.

That's fantastic!

My son still needs 90 hours of driving practise on his L plates so driving me to Newcastle is a great idea! Plus he's a science nut. Any additional info or links about the tours? I found the main sites but they're a few years old and I can't seem to find any info on tours.
