It’s nice to have some comic relief, particularly at the end of a long week. On this occasion, the laughs are provided by Gunnedah-born comedian Tom Gleeson, in which he skewers the “ridiculous” business model of Australia’s major electricity providers.
He also details the win-lose equation of having rooftop solar on your home, and why he pays his retailer 31c/kWh for electricity but only gets 5c/kWh when he sends solar power the other way. If he burned coal at home, he suggested, maybe he would get paid more.
He then explains why prime minister Malcolm Turnbull is like the wind turbine that won’t spin.
And at the end there’s a nice bit on Uber, that has nothing to do with renewables… but could easily serve as a parable for incumbent energy companies. Enjoy.
