    Whether that is a solution in your street I dunno as there may be other variables.

    She certainly needs to get it sorted one way or the other.

    More important then as the authorities are talking about doing some weird things with Remote shutdowns & stuff .

    I try to keep up but it is mindboggling so I just grin a bear it for now.


    They didn't install the new Digital Meters for nothing, it seems.

    I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food

    A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking

    bit of a ****ing competition in that article.

    the only reason any state is ahead of the others is because investors and businesses chose to locate their generating and storage systems where they did.

    it is becoming increasingly inevitable that state by state alternative power generation is taking over from the dinosoars and the coal/gas burners are doing nothing to stop it. In fact most of the utility owners are smartly investing in renewables.

    I notice the naysayers here have gone very very quiet.

    Businesses and state governments are bypassing the federal government because of its lack of leadership and just getting on with the job.
