Green Wombat

EnviroMission, the solar energy company planning to build a 50-megawatt, 1,600-foot-high solar tower power plant in southeast Australia, has opened an office in Phoenix to pursue a U.S. project. (See "Tower of Power," the Business 2.0 magazine story I wrote on the company, for details on the Aussie solar tower.) The Melbourne company says it is studying the feasibility of building a solar tower on 24,000 acres of Arizona state land.
It’s the summer holidays in Australia and everyone’s at the beach (including Green Wombat), but I’ve made inquiries and will  post more details on EnviroMission’s U.S. project when they become available. As Green Wombat earlier reported, EnviroMission suffered a setback in October when it lost a bid for a $A75 million Australian government grant it was counting on to jump-start its Aussie solar tower.
