USA y Australia firman un acuerdo para dedicar 50M$ a abaratar los costes de la energía solar

On November 8, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard announced a $50-million collaboration which the two nations hope will identify cheaper solar power solutions. Gillard, elected in June, and Clinton, an Obama appointee who took office in January of 2009, want to see consumer prices for solar power technologies come down as much as two to four times their current rate, leveling the cost playing field between solar energy and fossil-fuel power within five years.
