That fucking doublespeak clickbait headline, straight out of goddamned Orwell.
I uh... I wouldn't mind if they sent some of that struggle to my country, I think I could bear it.
This is a problem created by the suppliers who have kept jacking up prices. What else are people going to do? And the last few years they've upped the daily connection fee so you have to pay them regardless if you use energy or not.
Privatization was a huge mistake.. thanks LNP.
Interesting how it's phrased as a bad thing. Article was probably sponsored by Big Coal.
Unfortunately it is a problem that needs solving. Electricity needs to be used as it is produced and if its not, it will be a problem. Where i live, the de facto solution today is to heat the oceans. That's not a viable long term solution and why we urgently need to find a way to store energy!
Whole of Australia is sponsored by coal
Isn't electricity in Australia still something like 40 cents a kilowatt hour?
Apparently not too much solar power to drop the prices a bit.
Plug in more electrical devices!! Buy a wall powered vibrator!
This seems like a good problem to have, no? Just need some batteries or some interruptible industrial processes to absorb the excess.
Everything about energy production and storage.
