Australia is generating so much solar power that it’s now giving it out for free.
With countries making strides in building out solar farms and more households installing solar panels, there’s plenty of energy to go around.
“People who are able to move electricity use into the zero cost power period will benefit directly, whether they have solar panels or not and whether they own or rent,” said climate change and energy minister Chris Bowen in a statement.
Last month, the Trump administration quietly canceled the country’s largest solar project as part of a staunchly anti-renewable energy agenda.
