In what must surely be the most bone-headed decision in the history of the green energy movement, the Rudd Labor Government has decided to squash the nascent local solar panel industry. The same government that paid lip service to environmental concerns by signing the Kyoto Protocol has decided to make installation of home solar panels a class issue.

No need to panic just yet, but in 7.6 billion years, the dying Sun will expand and burn up our planet completely. The answer? Use a large passing asteroid to ‘nudge’ our orbit further outwards; live on space ‘life rafts’ or leave the planet in search of strange new worlds.
