Dear Hasbeen,

Quit your belly aching mate.

This is the reality for your area.

"Australian Energy Market Commission Residential electricity price trends report 2019

Power prices are estimated to fall in south east Queensland in response to rising supplies of renewable generation and falling environmental scheme costs. Over the three year period modelled by this report consumers could save $278 (or 20%) on their electricity bills out to 2022."

To you have anything besides your anti-renewable energy mantra that says otherwise?

Come off it SR. This must be the 5Th or perhaps 50Th time some bull duster has made such a promise, always just before there is another hike in the price.

I don't know if you are a fool or a con man, but I do know no thinking person would trust you as far as they could kick you.

Dear Hasbeen,

You really are a deeply ignorant man on so many levels.

Here is the Queensland Competition Authority's price determination for 2019-20 for regional retail customers.

It said it ensured an average 4.4% decrease in electricity prices for the period.

So when you say; "I don't know if you are a fool or a con man, but I do know no thinking person would trust you as far as they could kick you." I'm not sure why you in particular wouldn't trust me.

Tell us something we don't already know.

Hasbeen,

Correct. Falling electricity prices is just another one of the lies of RET fans and climate fanatics. Wholesale prices might well fall, but that makes the continually rising retail prices even bigger ripoffs. These people are so used to having their lies believed by you know who, they think that the rest of us don't notice that prices go up, not down. There are useful idiots helping the crooks to spread their lies. SR is just one of them. Always look at the cost per kwt, not fancy 'discounts' and other BS.

Like the bull dusters on global warming, starting at a suitable point can almost make some total lies believe.

If we chose as a starting point my first electricity bill in this house & my current bill, it paints a rather different picture.

Of course the entire electricity was coal fired in those much healthier days. My total bill was $299, which included $21 for the controlled supply to my hot water service. That serviced 3 adults & 3 kids. Today the $137 services just 2 adults, & occasional nights when my son stays, a 600+% increase for half the service.

The total bill was $900 before the Queensland Govt. rebate of $87. This works out that the solar panel & wind mill savings are remarkably hard to find. An actual total increase of just over 300%, is a pretty poor looking saving in any ones book.

I really don't see how anyone can expect to be taken seriously when they talk such utter bull s##t.
