Mike you are correct today we do live in a truely priveleged country,
That's all I am trying to say

Quote:
1.3 billion without power in the world is just side stepping this threads title and I believe intent, the cost of electricity is starting to hurt.
This is where I disagree. Hurt? Compared to much of the rest of humanity we have plenty of room to soak that up, billons of other humans just don't - it's that simple that's all I am trying to say

While the massive rise in the cost of electricity may not be a concern to some with a gazillion cables hanging off a dozen scopes
Well that describes most on here

Quote:
To many out there it is hurting terribly on top of other rising costs.
By "Out there" I assume you mean Australia?..Yes I totally get that and I don't disagree and we can always look to improve but seriously, there are many, many people far worse off around the World through no fault of their own.

Quote:
Wake up Australia we are being taken for a ride and paying the price for public wastage on a grand scale.
Well in a sense I agree with you, we are slowly being convinced we have serious problems...when compared to the rest of the world.. we frankly just don't

Anyway, I do agree that electricity is getting more expensive and I frown at my electricity bills like everyone else, they suck.
