Electricity is a consumable, its difficult to hide the cost of alternative energy production. My Parents in Law cannot afford their current power bill. This winter past, my Mother in Law developed chilblains from keeping the heater too close to her feet.
Anything that drives their bill up will result in even more appliances being switched off. Why is it OK for the poor to have to be switching off their limited appliances, whilst the privileged switch on ever more devices?
In all likelihood, if the current trend in power bills continues we will have to subsidize or completely pay for my Parents in Law electricity bill. This is not the Australia that was promised, an equitable country.
