Thank you Vic. Actually it was one of the mean girls- Kristina Keaneley who privatised the power in NSW but I’m sure the LNP was disappointed that they didn’t get too do it!
Now the labor state government is ready to fund the private enterprise for any repairs needed to keep the coal burning till the new power grid is ready.
You are exactly correct that none of these companies are held responsible rather just given taxpayer blank checks to keep their business profitable. Why is that?
Still no one can tell me what Albo has planned once the new billion dollar power plants become operational?
Will it be given to overseas companies to run again?
Will it be kept in public hands?
Who will distribute the new energy?
Perhaps we should all buy home batteries on wheels too push too the windmill and fill up on electricity?
They are certainly keeping how it’s going too work a very, very big secret!
Our mainstream media is even too scared to ask!!

Well, we should also ask the same question about Nuclear Power Stations and Nuclear Submarines. My guess is that it will all be privatised with perhaps a small to medium ownership stake by the relevant State or Federal Government. Down here, the generating capacity is owned by a couple of companies whilst the distribution of that power is run by many. When you look at your bill, it may well be true that the KW/h cost has decreased by whatever promise has been made BUT the per day supply cost has increased to in many cases, that cost is more than the power consumed!
Whist having Solar and Batteries is great, you still pay for the privilege of having a distribution network available should you need it - even if you do not.
