Australia set to become leader in green energy technology

Australia’s Government says, its plans to create the world’s largest solar power station by turning a wasteland into a glistening field of mirrors is a step toward making the sun-drenched country a world leader in clean energy.

But critics say the Government, which is riding on the back of an economic boom driven by sales of Australia’s main export, coal, and other resources, is moving too slowly on less-polluting alternatives to fossil fuels and is using clean-energy arguments to launch a nuclear power industry.
