Solar is cheaper. Coal costs much more than 2.42c per kWh.
Who's the moron now?

"A consortium of the Chinese solar panel maker and project builder JinkoSolar JKS 4.60% and the Japanese developer Marubeni put in a bid to build a large solar panel farm near the sun-rich city for a jaw-dropping 2.42 cents per kilowatt hour.
That’s by far the lowest solar panel farm bid out there. A few ultra low-cost large solar panel farms have recently achieved around 4 cents per kilowatt hour, and earlier this year the previous record bid for a solar panel farm in Chile was 2.91 cents per kilowatt hour."

Current domestic PV panels are in the region of about 18% efficiency. So they convert 1kW of solar energy into 180W of electricity. If CSIRO have panels hundreds of times better where is the energy coming from? They would be almost 100% efficient just 5 times better, if that's what you mean?

Wind energy unlikely to ever be economical you say!
Try 2.5c per kWh.

Don't forget these are not only cheaper than coal but don't pump filth into the atmosphere either.

Why can't the red neck wankers[to coin your phrase] understand this?

Ha ha you maintain the crown. Only out by factor 1000! You could try and explain to South Aussies why they have highest electricity costs even though the bludge on other states with dirty brown coal.
I wish you were correct. There are far better uses for oil, gas and coal.
