That's great. It shows that they aren't just making a pipe dream of we hope to do this sometime in the future. Having a deadline is a good step to getting it done.The estimated deadline is the year 2012
There's something in it for the US too so that's good. Shame that the company couldn't get more work in your own country though.it was revealed yesterday that a US firm will be building an electric car charging network for them.

A majority of power produced in New South Wales (the most populated state in Australia) is from coal, with some gas power. The Snowy Mountains Hydro Scheme provides peak load power to NSW and two other states.Mek-Stizzle wrote:
It's a start, but if you're going to start. Start with the power source first. I don't know how Aus generates it's electricity, but if it wants to go down a clean/sustainable/green route, they should start by making use of their massive Uranium reserves and the amount of sun energy the interior gets.
Who will, in turn, outsource customer service to India and manufacture everything in ChinaFEOS wrote:

It looks like they are putting in the renewable energy plants to put clean power into the system. Electric cars are perfect for city use, the more stations like these are made, the more electric cars will appear.AGL wrote:
In support of the project, AGL will provide electricity from renewable sources to power the electric cars and enable Better Place to deliver sustainable transportation.
One of the biggest point about the Australian plan is that there are battery swapping stations, so you can switch out batteries on a long road trip without stopping to let them recharge. Really essential if anyone is going to consider an electric as their primary car.
I still dont understand that...surely a democracy is the majority? Its not like a government is not elected because 1 person voted the other way...Burwhale the Avenger wrote:
Re- Fallout 3, Turq you really have to lay off Oz on this one. 6 out of 7 Attourney generals voted for a 18+ game classification. One did not, and unfortunately the vote must be unanimous. We hate it too. From what I heard the only difference was that Morphine was renamed to something else, no big deal right?

Err, he wasn't censoring, he just had a conservative and outdated attitude and so voted against an R18 rating being added to the classification system.Turquoise wrote:
