What!? Every single thing you said is wrong. There are a multitude of things we can do about it. Stopping dairy conversions is one. We should absolutely care about it. Storms, flooding and coastal inundation being the proven outcomes of sea temp rises. Increasing emission is the opposite of what we should do. I can’t fathom the logic that would make anyone come to that conclusion. China should be applauded, their rollout of renewables is world leading. Obvious troll is obvious I guess

I found that too. Any political conversation I had this cycle were basically: “Winston for the shit stir” or “Lifelong (insert party) voter”. Nobody I spoke to really knew any policy.

The real problem is the daily charge. If the buyback is close enough to the purchase price you can make your night time (off peak) costs balance your generated income. When you have a high daily rate you have make up that difference before you can break even. I just switched to a provider with a bigger buyback/purchase difference but lower daily and will come out ahead because of that. Got tired of sending 2x more kWh to the grid than receiving and still ending up in debit.

That makes two of us.
