    Australian News... Could this really be considered bashing?

    The Australian government is currently looking over plans to develop a "1kilometer tall solar tower surrounded by 7 kilometers" of greenhouse. The building will cost $800 million Austalian dollars and potentially supply energy to 200,000 homes. The design allows hot air from the greenhouse to flow up the tower and power turbines along the way (thus delivering the energy). Environmentalists don't like the idea, but does that really surprise anyone?
