  • Power Games: Who’s driving high power bills?

    Jump

  • Oh yeah that would be interesting re: free energy period and charging the battery back up. I had crunched the numbers a while ago, but should look at it again. I'm guessing it's not possible to actually remove yourself from the grid fully so that you don't need to worry about the daily supply fee ?

    We're pretty light on with energy usage, kids in bed early, no tv(still use screens obviously) generally no heating just some extra layers. Not sure.. I think it's probably the bloody kettle boiling that uses most of our power.. Edit: our base hourly usage is about 0.2kwh (say over night -fridge, router etc) then we really only have a spike in the morning and from about 6-8pm

  • Yeah, to be fair, having a quick look at prices they seemed to have dropped a lot (I paid about 10k for a 5kwh solar system about 5 years ago), although I'm not sure if I trust some of those batteries, they're looking far too cheap.

    I suppose a lot of the calculation is also dependent on use. We use about 7-9kwh per day during winter (no gas heating) which is only roughly 2.50 a day, one of the bigger killers comes from the >1 dollar a day for connection.

  • It's not quite that simple, if by near zero you mean after paying ~$25000 for a solar and battery combo. With feed in tarrifs being near 0cents now, I haven't crunched the numbers recently... But its really killed the payoff period for straight solar

  • Guardian Essential poll: more than half of Australians open to voting for One Nation despite Hanson’s Muslim comments

    Jump

  • Thanks for adding that link. I was trying to think how on dear earth would 32% of greens be open to voting for ON. When the other options were "definitely" or "never" .. I can understand the "open to" I think we should always have a open mind to flexibility.. definitely doesn't reflect seats or general intent.

  • Ban under-16s from riding ebikes and e-scooters then require a driver’s licence, Queensland inquiry to recommend

    Jump

  • Those numbers are pretty irrelevant unless you're able to provide a comparable percentage. For example, 129 car driver deaths per 1million road hours compared to 8 escooter deaths per 10,000 hours. Sure, the number of deaths might be lower, but risk higher.

  • Queensland Tesla registrations in free-fall, as Musk embraces far-right

    Jump

  • Well, I mean Pauline Hansons "there's not a single good Muslim" comment.. you know.. isn't that much of a stretch

    Edit: mind you these comments were made on public broadcaster, concerns me what conversations are had behind closed doors.

  • Australian health insurance premiums just had their biggest hike in a decade. Is it time to scrap private health cover?

    Jump

  • The "lifetime health cover loading" is a scam and is disingenuous, I believe it's only loaded for 10 years. I'm personally ok with the Medicare levy, id rather pay that than pay for private health insurance.

  • Republican mayor caught on camera sniffing his TEEN STEPDAUGHTERS PANTIES

  • Apparently not as hard as him?

    Edit: or perhaps harder than him?? I'm not sure where I want to land with this comment yet.

  • What the fuck is going on here, Jesus Christ. Can't we just get some normal policy and politicians for a while.

  • Is Australia facing an economic reality not seen since World War Two?

    Jump

  • Now you're sounding like a taco ad. Unfortunately, until the majority of mainstream media is not owned by conservatives or traditional press dies out.. I don't see any meaningful tax reform in the future

  • Are you suggesting I can save money by installing an AR-15 into my computer? Helps with immersion I suppose.

  • It's not even about taxing the rich. It's about appropriately taxing corporations. We're selling all of our natural resources for absolutely negligible value to the Australian people.

  • With their first female leader gone, can the Liberals shake their 'women problem'?

    Jump

  • She never really had them behind her though. Even from the start, it was called out that she was dead (wo)man after the horrific results (for liberals) from the last federal election
