Re: I also like the idea of planting Australia in pine trees, and photovoltaic panels, and have advocated that idea for many years too.

Photovoltaics remain uneconomic today. They will need a five-fold decrease in cost in order to compete against conventional electrical generation.

Here's a much more promising alternative, IMO:

In Australia, as everywhere else, the pine trees require a minimum amount of rainfall.

Here's a delightfully clear-headed scientific analysis of Australia's potential as forest land, as of 1926.
