Solar power is democratic, as is wind power


Solar power is democratic in that applied thoughtfully it can break the grip oligarchies have on society.

Wind power is similar and the installation of some 90 turbines in Snowtown in South Australia has been strongly endorsed by the local community.

The project, which started nearly two years ago, will provide power for about 230,000 homes.

The project, described in an ABC story headed: “Snowtown wind farm near completion and enjoying strong local community support” covers about 30 kilometres and involves 24 landowners.
