Boy this thread is going fast just catching up with some of the posts. If you want to reduce your power bills then do a energy audit. It's not good enough to just put in low energy lights. It might come as a shock whats costing you money.

My house a farm have a total power bill of less then $1k a year and power is more costly in SA.
Peter conversion to cleaner fuel will not happen over night, but it can happen. Pricing the cost of carbon on the environment is a great step.

In the end the carbon "debate" is systematic about were australia is these days. We have become a country of knockers and can't doer's. China and India will take advantage of the new economies, any good ideas we do come up with will be driven offshore, the only diference will be instead of going to the US it goes to China. Sad really.
