If we’re going to take the stance of banning things solely because they cost too much, then maybe we should outlaw pumped hydro as well? Maybe expand the scope a little further and ban rail transport as well because the Inland Rail project went way over budget? Well, both of those projects were the...

Given that private industry isn't even remotely interested unless there's heavy taxpayer subsidy, and that the history of major projects over the past 15 years is deplorable, you'd think it would be political suicide. That's not even considering the NIMBY vote. The best option would be to quietly d...

To get this back onto the subject of energy discussion rather than whatever the hell the last couple of pages have been, I wonder if the Liberal nuclear policy will even make it to the election. There is so much pushback and a clear lack of consultation that it seems very risky to run on, but at th...

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...

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...

As you have said not including it is not good etiquette and may not be meeting your legal obligations- Chanel 7 not included. Most of the mainstream media on free to air generally has a left/Labor le...

There will be a new round of complaints soon. AGL has announced it intends to close what's left of Torrens Island Power Station at the end of June 2026. Engie intends to close the diesel-powered turbines at Snuggery and Port Lincoln from 1 July this year . There are a lot of different agencies invo...

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 ...

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...

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....
