The
organisation
hopes
to
build
community
support
for
concentrating
solar
power
(CSP)
to
replace
local
coal-fired
power
stations.
The
meeting
followed
the
release
of
a
groundbreaking
report
by
the
Melbourne
renewables
think-tank
Beyond
Zero
Emissions
(BZE),
detailing
how
the
town
of
Port
Augusta,
320km
north
of
the
state
capital,
Adelaide,
could
become
South
Australia’s
renewable-energy
hub.
BZE,
which
campaigns
for
a
zero-emission
future
for
Australia
by
2020,
wants
the
coal-fired
power
stations
replaced
by
CSP
plants
using
solar
towers
with
a
capacity
of
760MW,
and
90MW
of
wind
turbines.
But
the
plan…
