CANBERRA cheap nike air force 1 low , Aug. 15 (Xinhua) -- Energy experts on Tuesday hailed the South Australian government's decision to build the world's largest solar thermal power plant as a very exciting development for clean energy in Australia.


Late on Monday, South Australian Premier Jay Weatherill announced that construction on a 150-megawatt solar thermal power plant would begin in the town of Port Augusta in 2018 at a cost of 650 million Australian dollars (512 million U.S. dollars).


According to the government, the power plant will be the biggest of its kind in the world and would employ the use of mirrors to reflect light and heat to form concentrated solar power (CSP) and provide up to 100 percent of the state government's needs.


On Tuesday, experts applauded the announcement of the ground-breaking facility, which would also include a battery to store up to eight hours' worth of electricity in case of emergency.


Dr. John Pye, energy expert at the Australian National University (ANU) cheap nike air force 1 mid , said it was "very exciting to see large-scale CSP finally coming to Australia."


"This project, like all large projects in the global CSP market, are critically important in helping CSP to 'come down the cost curve' and allowing CSP to take up a role in the wide range of technologies that needed for around-the-clock, fossil-free power for Australia anywhere else where the sun shines brightly," Pye said in a statement on Tuesday.


"Beyond CSP for electricity, at ANU we think that CSP will one day be the answer to de-carbonizing a wide range of industrial heat applications cheap nike air force 1 high womens , and maybe even a way for Australia to export higher-value renewably-processed metals, instead of raw materials like ore."


Professor Samantha Hepburn, director of the Centre for Energy and Natural Resource Law (CENRL), said not only will the plant provide South Australia with a more secure electricity grid, it also "coheres with climate change imperatives".


"The proposal will help to make the market more competitive and coheres with climate change imperatives," she said in a statement.


"In the current phase of renewable transition however cheap nike air force 1 high mens , with steady industry development and stronger government support, the project looks positive."


Meanwhile, Dr. Ariel Liebman from Monash University said the CSP solar thermal power plant would complement Tesla founder Elon Musk's South Australian battery storage project, announced last month.


"The Port Augusta Solar Thermal plant will be a great complement to the range of new technologies now in South Australia and the rest of the nation such as wind, solar PV and electric battery such as the NeoenTesla battery announced last month," Liebman said.


When announcing the plant on Monday night cheap nike air force 1 high , Premier Jay Weatherill declared catastrophic blackouts -- such as those experienced in South Australia over summer -- would be a thing of the past once the solar thermal plant and Tesla's battery storage facility are completed.


"This, in addition to our state-owned gas plant, and the world's largest lithium ion battery, will help to make our energy grid more secure," Weatherill said.

MEXICO CITY, Aug. 11 (Xinhua) -- Mexico expects to hold constructive talks to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) with its two regional trade partners, with an eye to boosting trade and competitiveness in the region.


Mexico, the United States and Canada will sit down next week to renegotiate NAFTA, which created what used to be the world's largest free-trade area.


The first trilateral talks will be held from Aug. 16 to 20 in Washington, as part of a renegotiation effort that could entail six to nine negotiating rounds cheap nike air force 1 07 low , according to Mexicon Economy Minister Ildefonso Guajardo.


The second gathering will be hosted in Mexico City at the beginning of September.


The first round will see 25 work tables installed to simultaneously tackle different areas of trade. Afterwards, the countries trade ministers will decide which path to take next, Guajardo told reporters.


GREAT POTENTIAL


Kenneth Smith, the head of Mexico's technical negotiating team, said Thursday that the two-decade trade deal still has potential for growth, thanks to the dynamism of the U.S. cheap nike air force 1 07 mid , Canadian and Mexican markets.


"In terms of trade growth, we have very large potential. Obviously we (Mexico) are already the second largest buyer of U.S. products and the United States is the leading destination for our exports," said Smith.


Since taking effect in 1994, NAFTA has made North America one of the world's most profitable regions, representing one-fourth of global gross domestic product (GDP), the American Chamber of Commerce says.


Trade between Mexico and the United States quadrupled to 310 billion U.S. dollars in 2016 from 42 billion dollars in 1994 cheap nike air force 1 07 high , according to Mexico's leading industry group, the Confederation of Industrial Chambers.


The Washington-based Wilson Center says Mexicans on average consume some 1,801 dollars' worth of U.S. products a year.


Mexico has not revealed its specific negotiating goals, but it has four areas of concern: strengthening North America's competitiveness, moving towards inclusive and responsible regional trade, making the most of the opportunities offered by the 21st-century economy cheap nike air force 1 07 , and promoting certainty for trade and in
