Could there be a bigger contrast? Labor bringing manufacturing back to Australia. L-NP did nothing but shut it down. Labor reducing our dependence on China. L-NP threatening war with China. Well done, @AlboMP #auspol abc.net.au/news/2024-03-2…
@Jim_Pembroke @AlboMP Be great especially if small medium businesses grow but I think big Corparates will get the fiat dollars. Big wind farms across Oz mostly Corparate owned will now control our electricity supplies. Instead of an few dozen formerly Govt owned big coal producers, in the future 1/2
@Jim_Pembroke @AlboMP hundereds of smaller generators holding us to ransom at peak times. America has had this model for decades, I see no upside just quietly.
@Jim_Pembroke @AlboMP Thats the case for all Oz manufacturers, nothing new. Thats why I said 'be great if', my main point is around the complete Corparatisation of our energy generation. Our Governments need to own this infrastructure.
@Jim_Pembroke @AlboMP Tilt Co. , big wind farm NSW. Owned by 3 Corparate entities 40/40/20. Will produce at peak similar to Liddell PS. Good thing but we are moving from an few dozen majority Govt owned to probably 100s of private generation companies, they demand profit not service to an community
@Jim_Pembroke @AlboMP Hope you're correct Jim. Rooftop Solar is key for self control of energy prices and reduced grid reliance, fine for us but I guess the less fortunate will be at the behest of the spot market during peak demand. Thats life I guess.
