Great till it runs out - what I don't get is why the Australians are not the world leaders in solar energy and technologies. Surely if you can have solar farms in Cornwall there ought to be a few around the outskirts of the major cities here but instead they still concentrate on the short-term boom/bust energies and retro-fit panels to their roofs.

Hmm, sounds like a company trying desperately to secure funding, or a newspaper trying desperately to drum up a story, especially when the estimate ranges "from 3.5 billion to 233 billion barrels of oil." That's equivalent to a weather forecast along the lines of "tomorrow's temperature could be freezing or it might hit 40 degrees ..."
