• It is the scientific breakthrough that is now the basis of over 90% of all the world's silicon solar panels.
• In 1974, Martin Green was a PhD candidate in the Department of Engineering at the University of NSW when he began his interest in solar energy.
• While there were solar panels already available their efficiency in terms of energy produced (watts) was extremely low. He set out to remedy this.

• CONTEXT: Energy analysts noticed anomalies in the records of electricity energy use in a number of Asian countries - notably Pakistan, and also other developing countries in the world [Saudia Arabia, UAE, Oman,Phillipines, Thailand, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Namibia and Madagascar]where the constant provision of fossil-fueled grid electricity cannot be guaranteed and where there are regular long interruptions to supply.
• SOLUTION: Installation of rooftop solar!

• Lawrence. M. Krauss is an internationally recognised theoretical physicist, winner of many national & international awards for his research and writing.
• He is an educator- scientist who specialises in demystifying the often complex ideas related to the physics and science of our world and our universe.
• His latest book 'The Physics of Climate Change' (2024), Head of Zeus/Bloomsbury Press, London.

• If food waste was a country then it would be the THIRD biggest source of CO2/GHGs in the world!

• Don't be a food tosser! Be a food waste compostor instead!

• One of the comments that was made frequently  in recent public meetings held by Electrifying Bradfield Inc. in Gordon and Turramurra- and also in conversations with visitors to the recent KRG Council Sustainability Futures Day was 'well I don't want any Chinese-made solar panels ... electric cars...

•  'Solar power is growing so quickly it is set to become the biggest source of electricity on the planet my 2035!' This is the evidenced prediction from a recent Special Report 'Dawn of the Solar Age' by the highly respected British weekly economics magazine, 'The Economist'.  (Clint Jasper & Peter Martin, 3/6/2024).

  * While data shows Nuclear power is barely increasing and SHRINKING proportionately in global power sources - SOLAR is growing so quickly it will become the biggest source of electricity by 2035.
