Your figures look good Clive , I'll give you that but when you take into account thefact that thecurrent feed in tarrifsare only stamped in law until 2024 thats only 12 years. Having a sceptical view of our governments and their trusted nature and performance it makes it very hard to see a real or imagined return on investment. Our privatised electricity companies have a history of increases more like 10 to 20% per year rather than the 5% you speak of. Maybe WA has a better reputation on pricing, I don't know.
I do kow that our companies will never let you get square let alone make money on your investment unless legislation ties them down and the goverments reputation ismuch the same.

A for your global statements abou climate change and decarbonising the world. My position and I repeat my position, Hogwash. Another great excuse for a tax increase.
