Um, surely the Pilgrims in the Mayflower were migrants from the UK.
We are all immigrants. Unless you came over on the Mayflower. I am an immigrant to Canada having grown up in the US. America was built by immigrants. Some people have forgotten that.

Could it be that slowly (too slowly) but surely, we are doing this thing?
Solar provided 59% of electricity in the Australian national (east coast) grid between 9am and 6pm over the past week. It was 30% of total generation.
