Can't wait until the grid is privatised here, then I can support those poor unfortunate Chinese too.

Anyway I guess my point was that we have it so much better than S.A
It beats me how anyone can vote in favour of privatisation after seeing their experience.

Yeah! not good here.......they tore into me this time, ripped me from $270.00 credit down to $9.00 credit......wife "felt the cold" this year more than others and stuck the heat up 25 degrees (ouch) so usage of the ducted air con was pretty heavy and we had extra cloud cover making the solar very glum.......good old Lumo increased our rates "in line with the cost of living" .........but with decent weather we should start rebuilding a bit from here on in.

I feel for the ones that are just getting solar on now......$0.06c per kilowatt FIT.....bit of a kick in the pants.

really not funny anymore.....poor buggers who have had no power at all through winter are the ones I feel for.

may your day's be filled with smiles, your life be filled with love, may your children know nothing but happiness and joy, cherish the memory of those who strove before us for they cleared the way, spare a thought for those who serve we owe so much to so many, life and the freedom to enjoy it is a special gift that can be taken away far too soon!
