Ok....we'll see what happens when they do ban replacing these hot water systems. Let' see if the prices come down on solar and whether the pollies will put a decent rebate on their cost. A great many people can't afford one now and in order to be able to afford one, they'll have to subsidise them to the same extent as electrical heaters. I don't think so.
We'll see after 3-5 years, just how many people are grumbling about it. Then we can make a fair appraisal on the merits of the legislation. There are far better ways of cutting back GHG emissions and curtailing power usage than banning replacing electrical hot water systems.
