That wholesale price can vary wildly. On a cloudy, windless winter afternoon, when everyone gets home from work, turns on the heater and the lights, puts on a load of laundry and chucks something in the oven, wholesale power gets pretty expensive. Especially if – in an increasingly common occurrence – one of our country’s clunky, dirty old coal generators has broken down.
The whole point of converting everything from gas to electric. Impulse pricing. That doesn't exist with gas and lng.
"Thanks to subsidies and price cuts and the general feeling that this is a nice way to save on energy bills and maybe help the climate emergency, a third of Australian households – coming up to 4 million – have solar arrays."
Hand rubbing intensifies... "Subsidies" means more and more debt and interest to the jewish international bankers. Australia's interest alone is probably 100 million a day and it was probably ZERO forty years ago.
"Climate emergency". I'd like to see that writer and that editor go down hard.
...aaaannnddd charge them for selling back to the power companies the exact same thing that the pwoer companies are charging them for in the first place.
"So let me get this straight. If I use electricity and you provide it, you're going to charge me for that, right?"
"Yep."
"But if I provide electricity, the exact same thing, back to YOU, you're going to charge ME for that too?
Price em out nigger. Lead acid batteries are the cheapest way to store electricity. They last a decade easy when they’re part of a solar rig. Stop talking out of your ass, Tejasfag.
Lead acid batteries are the cheapest way to store electricity.
In small quantities only.

No they don't.
If they were actually good stores of electricity, we wouldn't be replacing them with lithium ion batteries.
Average solar system lead acid batteries have 50% capacity after 7 years, so if you mean "lasts 10 years" to suggest "will still hold a charge" then maybe, but the best? Not even close.
