How Does Solar Energy Effect Australia?

Solar power is the most accessible form of renewable energy in Australia.
Use of solar power may be the most cost effective form of energy for some remote areas. This lessens the impact of humans on the environment. No fuel or power lines running across vast stretches of uninhabited areas.
Without solar energy there would most likely be no life on Earth let alone Australia.
There is an argument that all energy except geothermal and nuclear derives from our Solar source.
As Australia is closer to the ozone depleated South Pole the sunlight there is more intense than in other places in the world. As a result skin cancer rates can be expected to be higher.
