Colonization of the outer Solar System Colonization of the outer Solar System Many parts of the outer Solar System have been considered for possible future colonization. Most of the larger moons of the outer planets contain water ice, liquid water, and organic compounds that might be useful for sustaining human life. Colonies in the outer Solar System could also serve as centers for long-term investigation of the planet and the other moons. In particular, robotic devices could be controlled by humans without the very long time delays incurred in communicating with Earth. There have also been proposals to place robotic aerostats in the upper atmospheres of
Solar hot water in Australia from 01/10 2007 to 30/06 2009, offered all house owners in NSW a rebate on systems that were replacing existing electric hot water systems. The more efficient the system (emitting less Greenhouse gas), the more RECs the system was eligible for, generating a higher rebate. Power and Water Corporation, the principal water and electricity supplier in the Northern Territory, offers an REC buyback scheme on installations of solar water heaters. The buyback must be applied for and assigned less than one year after the installation. The Queensland Government's Solar hot water rebate scheme finished on 30 June 2005. No state
