These are very early days, but with a carbon price set to be announced in a few days, maybe the wheel is turning a few more cogs.
There are a lot of renewable energy technologies - going far past the wind and solar thinking, to wave and tidal power, into algal biomass for fuels, weed and waste plant biomass for energy, anaerobic digestion, composting and many more.
Watch the performance of the new ARENA with interest. It has a clear mandate - renewable energy.
