The one I see the most is people leaving the solar HW booster turned on happens a lot
Ive been thinking of going solar HW. State is doing interest free loans up to $10k for households to use on energy saving stuff.


Not ready to jump into a full solar system yet. technology is moving so fast on that. Some friends of mine are having difficulty as their system is around 7 years old and stuff isn't compatible or something with it anymore. I don't really understand it all.

My sister was just telling me about a recent case in the ACT of Australia. Canberra to be exact.

A guy was charged with possessing 14.5grams of marijuana, he pled guilty and got fined.

Guess how much... it will blow your mind




Exactly $25 buckaroos.

Yep. It's decriminalized in NT under a certain weight and plant number so it's no different to a speeding fine

Tariff 41 would be off peak 1,usually between 12 am and 6am that's what you HW would be running off OP 2 will come back on at about 9 and run till 12ish around here anyway. People have been known to run their grows of a hot water circuit so you can use the cheaper power ;)

NSW cops have the ability to give a formal warning if you have under 12g I think it is but who goes anywhere with less than 1/2 Oz on them ?
you dont want to waste a first offence on a little bit either. they throw the book at you the second time so make sure the first charge is a worthy amount

Sounds like qld gets the shit end of the stick with weed laws. I'm voting weed party first next time voting is on. I just wanna grow some stonkers in the middle of my yard
when I lived in QLD i grew little plants along my fence line for a year or so at a place we were renting. On the day I moved out I finally met my neighbour. thought he was a shift worker but turns out he was a cop - no idea how i didnt get done then in hindsight

92c per day is the service availability charge that's just for the pleasure of having the power on,if you were away and turned all your power out you still would pay that
