Non Eels blog but wtf
It looks like everyone's Electricity bill will rise by at least 40% from 1st of July this year. I've noticed that mine went up from a flat rate of 29c per klw to something like 40c, they stating that wholesale prices are rising & some bs about extreme weather wtf, and infrastructure upgrades.
I've shopped around on the net yesterday and found prices as cheap as 29c to 33c
The daily charges also went up from 70c to 121c, almost double mother fkrs.
Anyways, all the best in finding better deals.
It looks like inflation will go through the roof aswell, as major companies aren't going to absorb these price rises easily.

Prove it. Without citing the fossil fuel sector and their cronies in the business-as-usual world ripping you off.
I don't pretend to know, but I have my opinions. So you're saying Daz that the massive jumps in energy prices in the recent years have nothing to do with the "transition to renewables"?
Of course not mate, it's just coincedence that electricity was affordable for 150 + years . Daz and his renewable mates just popped along recently to try to save us from the big bad boogey men who are trying to put us in darkness with their fossil fuel price gouging tactics. Absolutely nothing to do with his lefty cronies determined to tariff the fuck out of fossil fuel infrastructure, close them down therefore putting more pressure on what infrastructure there is, and driving up population via their reckless approach to immigration . It's all contributors .
The fake professor will no doubt write his 45 page essay, but even the mug punter isn't stupid enough to belive that the pyramid scheme of renewables we have had forced upon us Nazi style isn't a huge contributor to our rising and rising energy costs. You'd have to be a total retard to claim otherwise.
Seems a hell of a coincidence.
Yup, we are not being gaslighted by Fake Prof and his crew at all....... of course they don't have their superannuations sunk into renewable companies like all the other tax payer funded public servants do through their super and investments .....
What worries me is how weak it is making the country, it's gunna proper fuck our economy, our defence spending is piss poor. We have a leader that seems he would rather be an ally to China than the US. It's pretty scary.
The AEMO is just a industry Pablo Escobar disguised as something looking after consumers. The whole setup is basically a cartel.
As soon as these companies want to increase costs they say yeah no worries. They are covering the cracks of these poorly run businesses which would otherwise go broke because they have zero cashflow planning and zero continuous improvement planning in place.
Govts at both state and federal level have been complicit in the fast progessing of serfdom amongst the lower working classes for decades. (Chief's hero little Johnny was the instigator. The others that followed have simply been too scared from donors and companies that created electoral backlash to do anything about it)
We will end up like China and Russia with a bunch of oligarchs and rich kents v a vast multitude of peasant class workers. The only difference will be that we will still be to expensive for manufacturing.
Shut up pleb and get back to work
I'm too poor for that mate. I had to retire from serfdom.
