*** SUBSIDIES ? *** A great quote my friend !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Then why are we NOW getting subsidies for our electricity - Getting our own money back. Who is subsidising Renewables?

Can we this day and age believe any University study..................... most are, and breeding Left Wing nut jobs and selling their programs , in some cases, for jobs that are not there anymore (not all but !) .................. An opinion - maybe a possible scams !

Why :-
Transitioning to green energy is often hailed as a crucial step towards a sustainable future. However, this shift doesn't come without its challenges.
One significant issue is the increased energy costs that consumers face. As traditional fossil fuels are phased out, the price of energy tends to rise.
This is because the infrastructure for renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar, requires substantial investment - up front.
WHAT WE ARE NOT TOLD RENEWING the RENEWABLES and RENEWING the RENEWABLES - TO INFINITY --? And :- Unfortunately, these costs have to be met by consumers, hitting low-income households the hardest. Not to mention Manufacturingg (what's left of it) and small businesses who must pass on the costs ------------
Imagine a family already struggling with monthly bills—now, their electricity costs have doubled. This financial strain can be overwhelming, pushing them further into poverty.
The transition to renewable energy is it essential? It is vital to consider who bears the brunt of these changes. The consumer ?

Our energy minister was there cooking up more plans to spend billions we don't have, to make us use more of the electricity we don't have.
What a mess ...............!

As said the price of energy tends to rise ---------------- and I believe 'especially with renewables...with maintenance and REPLACEMENTS ! No mention of these costs - Why because these so called 'Highly edu me catedegg spurts' have no clue...........leave out the pollies- we know their limits ?

Solar panels as an example are becoming more frequent and affordable for lower social persons. Coal Power stations are not being maintained, so the next best affordable mechanism is used. ALL forms of Energy use transmission lines not matter what the source. As more people require less grid power, that leaves it upto those remaining to subsidies the Electricity Companies Profits. Thats why prices are rising.
