I expect prices to go up with the take up of electric vehicle’s.

no it doesnt IS SAYS PRICES WILL GO UP... then some time in the future if the fed government stops blocking renewables feeding into grid/builds transmission lines to the solar farms they said would have transmission lines that govs never built, THEN & only then it might come down

Except this...!!! AEMC chair Anna Collyer said power bills were expected to rise slightly, by about $20 in 2022/23, as Liddell closed down.🤔 NSW Generation screenshot 7.30 PM yesterday.. Coal + Gas...85.6% what will replace it?

I pay nothing now, will mine drop further now?

Oh so its not REAL its a 'PREDICTION' ... Wonder if the ABC will revisit this if the prices rise instead .. like they have in EVERY other part of the world where renewables were implemented ... Of course they wont: Our ABC: 𝗔ctivism 𝗕efore 𝗖ontent
