If you hear something about desert re-greening, you may first think about the Sahara, or at least about Africa. Also we could get financial support easily from the EU for a re-greening project in Africa. Unfortunately for Australia we will not get any financial support. But it is more appropriate to have the first installation done in a country like Australia. The acceptance of high technologies in Australia is higher than in any other country with desert reaching the coastal region.
Maintenance can be done by local staff, spare parts are also available locally.
The government of Australia is democratic, stable and supportive towards environmental groups like Greenwinds. Longterm plans and investments in these regions can be done. Import taxes are low or not applicable because most of the parts can be purchased inside the country. Transportation of staff and material from and to the site is possible through an excellent infrastructure. For this reason, it is a good starting point for our re-greening activities.
