Australia has so much solar that it's offering everyone free electricity
Australia's extensive solar power penetration makes so much energy that the government wants to offer free electricity at peak hours.
Iceland starts drilling into a volcano?
I like the sentiment, but I don’t think there is any drilling going on.
