Can somebody possibly explain to me how/why we're facing electricity shortages along the east coast?
Particularly when you consider that last year (or even the year before) we were were told that consumers were generating too much power and that our line charges had to rise so that infrastructure could be modified and rebates had to fall.

This is what happens when you let a Swedish teenager formulate your energy policy |

So this is how Albo promised to reduce our power bills ? I knew there was a catch |

From SMH
Power generators are exploiting the chaotic energy market by withdrawing power supply from the electricity grid and waiting until strict rules to prevent blackouts kick in, forcing the energy market operator to direct them to fire their plants back up and triggering profitable compensation payments.
There’s no law stopping power companies from withdrawing their electricity generation from the market, and in the past two days, they have reduced the volume available by 2 gigawatts in Victoria, 3 gigawatts in NSW and 1.5 gigawatts in Queensland.

If this is true, it really just goes to show the lack of vision our elected representatives have. Electricity is now considered an essential service and yet there appears to be nothing in place to ensure continuity of supply. |

Yep Food, water, energy and national security are the four things we should expect our government to provide as a first world nation. Unfortunately we've followed Europe's lead and surrendered our energy security to greeny zealots The Liberal party's failure to push back on it has not just hurt them electorally. It's now hurting the country economically |

So we'll still get to where the Greens want us to be (socialist utopia), just not as quickly |
