Going by the results around my locale and a comment from one of the party's faithful handing out how to vote material yesterday, many likewise saw it as just BS. Since the percentage of the count was little changed I could assume most voters in my parts just ignored it all as a stunt - I'm actually surprised - I'm in a voting area that's long held by conservative parties but expected a large swing given the serious amount of money that would surely have been ultimately wasted investigating further where the power plants would go despite being fairly sure they'd never get off the ground.
Given the level of sunshine or heat inland areas typically get in Australia, solar power or advanced thermocouple panels makes perfect sense. Solar power doesn't necessarily have to be distributed though a major grid - there's plenty of inland small gas fields that would serve as a good source to make ammonia. That at the moment that might not seem greatly useful for energy requirements, but as fuel cells become more popular and available, it'll help stabilise any shortfalls.
