Drive through Yackandandah on a clear day, and you’ll notice the rooftops before anything else. House after house topped with solar panels.

      Nissan aren’t really Nazi’s but the head was charged with war crimes after WW2 wasn’t he? They had a factory using forced labour in China or Japan. Either way fucked up

          I hear you but wanted to make a point that the other brand (and most old brands) have done some pretty shameful shit. Musk is of questionable character and supports people that aren’t great for the common man but his company isn’t building tanks to kill Chinese civilians or trucks to transport Jews to concentration camps. His car is currently just a car, I wouldn’t buy it but it’s just a car.

        They’ve supposedly “cracked Australia’s energy problem”, which is where we get our power from when “renewables” don’t work.

        How did they solve it? They don’t say anything about solving that problem. We already know that solar gives people power during the day. Night time has always been the roadblock.

      For households in Yack making the switch today, a combined solar and battery system costs around $15,000 after the federal government’s battery rebate, Charles-Jones says.

        Cool, same as everywhere else in Australia. How many of them actually have batteries? Doesn’t say, so we can only assume it’s an extremely low percentage since they specifically mention the exact percentage that have solar.
