i dont think power bills will ever go down as long as we rely on a company to sell us that electricity.
the only way to cut your bill is making your own power and storing it for your own use.
i also see the delema authorities are facing, as solar and battery technology improves we could see a future where large numbers of consumers are switching off from the big boy power companies.
and that hits govt with less revenue
then we are moving to electric cars, no more fuel excise, panic must be seeting in the govt bean counters.
how do we tax people for fuesl they create themselves?
during the recent water shortages we had rumblings of a 'rain tax' on anyone capturing the rain falling on their own property.
it didnt happen but it was talked of
the public wasnt buying it
it didnt pass the pub test.
but it showed the idiocy of suits in govt.
will those with their own solar systems be hit with a 'sun tax'?
i am not smart enough to work out how much tax saved if your driving an electric car but it must be a lot.
i do know my electricity bill halved after i installed solar panels, good for me not good for agl or the govt.
