Solar installations were done with tax payer funded assistance, that's what made solar viable for home owners but home owners still were required to stump up a considerable amount of cash.

Batteries also are subsidised to a degree.

Gas hot water and electric services can be 100% replaced with tax payer funded dollars in states like Victoria.

Modern Air conditioners can be obtained with part tax payer funded subsidies.

Power use monitoring can be fitted, again 100% tax payer funded.

Light bulb changeouts and draft stopping covers also obtained as 100% tax payer funded items through state schemes.

But the Acorn says its cheap ... Na it's a heavily subsidised industry which gives the impression it's cheap.

New studies I see are also showing up the extreme degree electric vehicles are being subsidised.

Subsidies you say ?

Subsidies to establish a new industry and to build infrastructure for decades and decades of service.

Or subsidies for an established industry well over 100 years old ?
