How will the power price increases affect you?

DH is dead set on the Stirling engine...has even found a guy in Sydney that makes them lol
I simply dont see we have any other choice.
And really especially in WA there is no excuse as to why EVERY SINGLE HOME shouldn't HAVE to have, by law, solar pannels on their roof. Such a waste of energy that goes on here.

Same goes for here. Even a wind turbine would be awesome. We missed the boat on the govt solar panel rebate though.

We still have some rebates here. They cancelled the other ones 10 days early though, so we missed them by 2 days...so very unimpressed with that.
But now they do some other scheme but it equates to the same amount anyway.
Do you qualify for the Green Loans Home Assessment thing? We did that and now we are eligiable for teh $10000 interest free loan to get solar panels or water tanks, etc

OMG!!!!!
i seriously thought our bill was bad, makes me feel a little better that some are as bad. we pay about 500-600 a quarter. we have 3 aircons, (2 in the house and 1 in the shed that runs 24/7 due to it being out reptile shed) there for we have a **** load of lights, heaters and heat matts that run for 12 hours a day. plus all the stuff in the house...
we're screwed
