Parkes, Australia,
. . . faced with a years-long drought that desiccated farms, and depleted farmers, called the "BIG DRY,"
. . . by building a $105 million solar farm that would power up to 21,000 homes.

“We have to pump our water from a river, and an aquifer 35 kilometers away. It costs us
. . . $1 million dollars a year to pump that water.
