    Why we have the Worlds highest power prices

    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

    Pretty sure the prices are higher in PNG, so the heading is wrong for a start,, had a blackout for the last month, so maybe that makes it the cheapest
    By all means get a Defender. If you get a good one, you'll be happy. If you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher.

    Towns and other communities in Germany have been taking matters into their own hands by setting up their own, collective, renewable energy sources and cutting their reliance on the big energy producers. Maybe something similar could work here. Australia's not short of either sunshine or winds and after installation, running costs for renewables are very low.

    It really is a shame that the public has to do things like this because of the greed of large organisations. I have noticed that large operations have to make a record profit every year or they consider that they have failed their shareholders and the CEO who demands a multi million dollar annual salary.

    It's actually the institutional shareholders that demand immediate returns, as well as older retirees that are living off their investments that are driving this so the outlook from companies is increasingly short term.
    No one looks at 5 to 10 years ahead now, they get hammered in the press and at AGM's.

    I also read about this yesterday in the Press Bob.
    I have my views, but if I raise them, it will become a C.A. issue,...couldn't have that.
    In the article I read, S.A.'s power was indeed the dearest in the world,......by a big margin.
