    It's almost two years since Australia's energy system was thrown into chaos by a perfect storm of problems.
    Sky-high gas and coal prices, a global economy roaring back from COVID, a spate of outages at aging coal-fired power stations, and an unusually cold start to an Australian winter.
    All of these things are in the rear-view mirror.
    And yet power bills in Australia are still high, certainly much higher than before all of those things happened.

    Why is this?

    And why are we continuing down this ever increasing power bill path?
