@GKSolar you're right about a lot there, but it's not just business owners who benefit from whatever extra windfalls might come from ever increasing power pricing, it's the share prices / dividends for shareholders, and corporate ceos / execs who get huge bonuses to meet ever growing targets.
I agree some renewables are really warranted now, as quickly as we can get in place, in particular small residential, commercial, and industrial rooftop solar, as long as it includes a 10+ kw battery !!
Then with a decent system, most residences at least be almost self sufficient throughout the year and still give some to the grid to help out (VPPs once established more).
I don't think we should go with huge farms of solar or wind, unless very close to existing infrastructure to help get the production to the grid, without massive development costs, nothing interfering with primary production, and cost benefit analysis on exactly what pros / cons there are to actually making, maintaining, and disposing of alternative power generation equipment (actual cost and environmental cost).
Right now, I feel instead of GOVCO allowing our LNG to be virtually stolen by corporations for a pittance, no royalties, compared to what we pay here for our own countrymen, we should be using that for base load and slowly developing our own renewable products to build this country, not some other one on the other side of the globe.
Anyway, I don't think Labor is going all out to help their own here, both major parties seem to have a lack of common sense and foresight past the next election.
