Or charging their EV's?

Reminds me of the Wedge Tailed Eagle we had as a pet when we were kids,it escaped late one afternoon,flew over the power lines,with a 3M lenght of light chain dangling from its leather jessies(spelling).
It blacked out the suburb,we still have bits of the melted chain.
Easy to catch once it was dark,as they can't see at night,it landed on the roof of a house down the road.

This happened in the inner city suburb of Camp Hill

Aussat was initially largely staffed by people from my employer, OTC, so I still know a few blokes in Optus.

I bought shares in Tesltra, too, as they offered them to us employees in a deal where the shares were paid for over a number of years from the dividends (plus some other benefits). I only bought T1 and T2 as I took redundancy in 2002.

Thousands of people were left without power after a food delivery drone crashed into powerlines yesterday in what has been described as a "first" by Energex.



I wonder how much this costs and who gets to pay???

The Taxpayers of course, it's always the Taxpayers.



But there will certainly be offered a damn good excuse, bull**** or not, but I can guarantee the words Scapegoat & Whitewash will be used as a minimum offer.

Cynical? Moi? Too right!



But a good way to pre- heat up the Pies & Pasties already with possibly a 1000 volts jumping over assuming those two conductors are on separate Phases.
