What about paying for the bloke who spends a day or two doing the work to install it? Isnāt that extra? And which low or middle income people have a lazy $5k to spend easily?
I reckon this will be a vote killer.
People donāt read detail. Many people are illiterate, canāt read and donāt have capacity to understand the nuances and +ās / -ās. They see how much it costs and the mucking around trying to install it.
No bits left out in the definition that is accepted. It is not a legal document and is not legally binding.
Facts matter
Is Victoria really forcing people to change?
Itās totally not necessary.
Just new stuff built with it
People will make electrical choices when they can during Renos.
Especially if that idiot Dutton doesnāt give us expensive power for the next two decades and the other mob pushes forward to storing all the power being generated today
No, more bs from the self described Conservative Dumby. The proposal is once your gas appliances reach end of life you canāt replace them with the same. Hereās the roadmap. Maybe transition will be a bit difficult. Having ancient infrastructure and being reliant on dwindling, ruinous fossil fuels probably worse for your kids and grandkids though. Duh.
Lawry determined not to turn Oz Pol into another ME thread, so determined.
Id have thought expensive gas prices would do the job for them.(government forcing choice isnāt really required).
No Iām determined to ensure somebody doesnāt get away with nonsense. Facts matter
My understanding is for established homes they must change from gas to electricity.ā¦ I donāt think Iāve got it wrongā¦
Do they?
According to some they donāt
Sooner the better I guess. And removing piped to household gas is probably a good idea too. As soon as I can Iām going to electric hot water from the existing bottled gas, having done so for the oven a while back, and opening it all up for eventual solar and battery. Itās just common sense - unless youāre being party political about it.
Its a good thing but some canāt afford to do what youāve done
Apply the same to the nuclear argument and walk your mate dmapes along with you.
and where are you getting your information from big man?
Did I say they could? And all Iāve done is replace my oven. As I posted above, when your gas appliance reaches end of life you simply canāt replace it with another gas one.
Here, from your own outlet
Hot water is hot water and hot air is hot air.
Iām wondering why you would choose gas if electric gear is cheaper.
As per our resident sparky @saladin itās the wiring, infrastructure.
And that extends to the EV zealots too.
You know what would be smart policy?
Instead of nuclear plants.
Batteries and upgrading āpoles n wiresā - ie transmission.
More of an NBN rollout where just like all Aussies need fibre, all Aussies need higher capacity power.
But debt! All the debt!!!
Preferred option forcing established homes to replace gas with electric units at end of life. Announced 3 days ago as part of roadmap consultation stepā¦
The Greens in SA tried to get a similar proposal to Victoria regarding gas but it never passed and instead state Labor have been trialling a blend of natural gas and hydrogen across a few suburbs and they seem quite happy with it so far.
I think eventually though they will probably can gas but thatās a few years off still
