Solar Rebate

Are there many Tesla where you Blokes live, seem to multiply everyday here. Ive had a run with one on 14, sure can move along.

Here's an idea, how about a solid fuel stove that the heats the house, heats the hot water & you can cook on and dry the clothes beside it?  Good ole Coal Range.    Shame you Aussies don't have any Coal aye . . .  that could of worked out well for ya.

If only. We've got loads of coal but aren't allowed to use it due to crazy green policies.

They seem to be breeding like unemployed scum around here, more every time you look.

Just get the colliery to paint its logo green or blue, rebranding does wonders, then sell thr coal at a 5% premium as "green" coal.  Even better if the bloke driving the drag line or excavator also drives a Tesla.  It's all about marketing....

I liked the traffic report one day last week, some major road was blocked In Brisbane by Tesla with smoke coming out of it. I live around 100k from nearest Tesla dealer, they dont supply any parts, must be returned to dealer. If you blow a globe, guess what. Crazy shit. I really do like electric stuff, golf buggies, lights, toasters, microwaves etc etc, guess that makes me a Greenie.

When a Tesla catches fire ( note I said "when" not "if"), the std fire brigade is not equipped to deal with a lithium battery fire and requires a HAZMAT unit.  Lithium battery fires produces some of the most toxic fumes known, effectively negating any "carbon credits". They take 10 times as long to extinguish as a "standard" car fire.  Not to mention how much energy goes into making one (not counting the battery packs).  I hate EVs with a passion, blatant marketing hype if you ask me.

Agree Eric. I can elaborate for a long time, no need.One little story, sorry. Local Blue Nurse comp, brilliant people. They got 2 new Hyundai Ionic, 2 power stations installed. Both cars showing 58% on dash, frozen, wont do anything. My job is to mobilise them, on the phone, nobody in Oz has an answer. Not sure how that finished, upgrades from Korea could take 3 months. Reckon a couple of petrol Corollas wouldve been better. Im not really supposed to comment on this stuff, not caring really.

No. I'm 180k's to the city and don't think I've ever seen a charging point out here.

All I see is Utes and a LOT of Landcruisers.

Built a commercial place on Thursday Island and it was high and had heaps of wind blow through.
Wasn't allowed by gov't to have wind generator as its 'too noisy'.
So had to install solar at what worked out to over 3x the cost for the same potential generation.

I don't think that'd be a problem here.
Apart from my local council tick the box without question when I ask for sheds, house etc, hell, they even hand out grants for rural builds,  I'm a bit closer than most on here to one of the biggest wind farms in Australia.

Can you run a sneaky extension lead from the wind farm to your place?

I'm not quite that close... 

Interesting place though. They caused a lot of issues at the port when I worked there, even in bits they are huge. Not a bad ride out for S/E Qld riders. On the road between Dalby and Kingaroy, basically around the back of the Bunya Mountains.

The wind generators need an oil change every 12 months. 365 litres around $7500. Makes a home one expensive. Was wondering which plant they grow to get that oil, it is a zero carbon machine they say.

[KiwiCol]

365L is a fecken lot of oil Grog!  Nearly 2 x 44 gallon drums.  Maybe it's canola oil or palm oil ?
