We have dcided to phase out coal fired Electricity Generation
with a gas transition to 100% renewables.
Whay should the owners invest more money in coal fired
generators. If I were to be a CEO of coal fired plants i would
direct that a minimum is spent on R&M and when its
dead , its dead & bugger the social obligation.....that's for the Government
to sort out.
We manufacture less, use more electricity which means that there is
more domestic electricity consumption & less industrial and to add
insult to our manufacturing demise, industry pays a higher tariff
than households!
IMO, the Governmnt should build the solar-wind & Hydro generators
& if they are cheaper to run , then flog them to private enterprise at
a profit & recoup the taxpayers funds with interest.Its called putting your environmental
money where your environmental mouth is.
Let's face it, if solar was cheaper than coal then the Chinese would not
have bought some of our coal fired generators but instead done a
sweetheart deal with the mother country is supplying the solar panels cheaply!
And there again, if solar were to be that cheap, then why is the
Government offering $3.5 k to bung them on the roof?
