Australians to get at least three hours a day of free solar power – even if they don’t have solar panels

Oh! Great, so everyone who took initiative, saved up money and bought solar panels is now NOT going to be benefitting from their hard work.

“give away your hard earned goods and resources to other people for free or we’ll send you to the gulag”

You’re still welcome to consume your own solar power in the middle of the day, you don’t have to export it. Nobody is forcing you to export.

Export rates are a pittance precisely because there is excess supply in the middle of the day. If this arrangement actually succeeds in shifting some demand to those hours, then export rates for those with excess solar will go up.

If I buy something that means it’s mine. The government shouldn’t get to dictate how it gets used, that should be up to me
