    That fucking doublespeak clickbait headline, straight out of goddamned Orwell.

    I uh… I wouldn’t mind if they sent some of that struggle to my country, I think I could bear it.

    This is a problem created by the suppliers who have kept jacking up prices. What else are people going to do? And the last few years they’ve upped the daily connection fee so you have to pay them regardless if you use energy or not.

    Privatization was a huge mistake… thanks LNP.

    Interesting how it’s phrased as a bad thing. Article was probably sponsored by Big Coal.

    This seems like a good problem to have, no? Just need some batteries or some interuptable industrial processes to absorb the excess.

    Isn't electricity in Australia still something like 40 cents a kilowatt hour?

    Apparently not too much solar power to drop the prices a bit.
