helps a ton that more and more people have PV at home and with minimal effort are seeing real world reductions power bills. Using the app we’re getting like 80% of our power usage from solar. And thats without a battery.
That’s one of the big advantages solar has - anyone can put up half a dozen solar panels.
You can’t build 0.001% of a nuclear power station in your backyard. Or a coal power plant, for that matter. So those are under the control of government and industry in a way that solar isn’t.
So while the coalition government was talking up coal power, Australians were ignoring them and installing solar themselves, a few panels at a time.
I feel the best advertisement for renewables is that it’s succeeding, despite all the effort to oppose it.
