Re: News & Discussion: Electricity Infrastructure
Well if you bothered to read the posts, or do your own research you would know that energy prices in this country are overseen by the Australian Energy Regulator. So when the Australian Energy Regulator says "we are the changing the default offer on electricity to a lower base" then a rea...

Re: News & Discussion: Electricity Infrastructure
SA power bills set to drop.....should be a bigger drop considering the average wholesale price in SA (3.7 cents per kwh in the December quarter) From Indaily More promises. Should we take bets(non financial) on whether power prices will drop because of this, or not like all the other broken promise...

Re: News & Discussion: Electricity Infrastructure
They keep investing in large scale solar & wind farms, and tell us power prices will come down. Power prices then go up, then they tell us its because of "gas", or the cost of the ageing grid repair/maintenance/upkeep work is expensive. So why are we still relying on the grid, if the ...

Re: News & Discussion: Electricity Infrastructure
ETSA was part of the fire sale to service the State Bank collapse debt... which the ALP was responsible for, if you want to go down that path zealot. But no that did not directly lead to the closure of Port Augusta. That was the result of the Clean Energy act. Was that the Clean Energy Act that clo...

Re: News & Discussion: Electricity Infrastructure
you just can't help yourself can you, you had to make it about partisan party politics again What is it about facts that you hate? It's a matter of record that Olsen sold ETSA. It was an utterly foolish decision. If Labor had done the same, it would have been just as foolish. However, Labor didn't....

Re: News & Discussion: Electricity Infrastructure
nobody will want to move to a state to manufacture that has the most expensive energy in the world that only has the capacity for 1.5 million people and requires backfill from interstate gas supplies when the wind isn't blowing SA is already regarded as a parasite on the rest of the nation The ques...

Re: News & Discussion: Electricity Infrastructure
Why do you people always have to include insults in your responses to reasonable questions? Solar panels and wind turbines require regular maintenance and they are dispersed which means more people need to travel greater distances to perform that maintenance. You are trying to convince me they requ...

Re: News & Discussion: Electricity Infrastructure
If absolutely everything went perfectly for nuclear, you'd get your first nuclear plant commissioned in time to see the entire NEM already 100% renewable. Without getting into the debate of whether solar/wind is cheaper than nuclear (which it is, I just don't have the capacity for idiots on a Satur...

Re: News & Discussion: Electricity Infrastructure
No, you're missing the point. This shouldn't be a debate about which party when in government fucked up what project, which is what half the posts you guys have made since yesterday were basically ranting about. One guys ranting about covid vaccines, another guy about snowy hydro 2. Nope. It's abou...

Re: News & Discussion: Electricity Infrastructure
lol, do people not realise that approving one parties policy does not automatically bind you to that party? Like, it is actually possible to not be aligned with a political party and still approve of some of their policies Nope. But if that party cannot deliver on its promises, you are wasting your...

Re: News & Discussion: Electricity Infrastructure
Some of you really need to just put each other on ignore lol. The focus shouldn't be what each party has or hasn't done when in government. What the focus should be on is what is in the national interest, for us consumers, for industry, for future industry etc. Instead we're having debates, not jus...

Why do you assume I'm a fan of the coalition? "bungled the vaccine rollout" this is my favourite ALP talking point :hilarious: which booster are you up to? Why would you assume I assume you are a fan of the Coalition? It was the Coalition that spruiked nuclear, was it not? Therefore, logi...
