I believe the Spanish incident was Poor management To get someone to quote you Must state what you will Pay? Kw/hr and make guaranteed Use. etc Standby has no real limit to cost per unit. New Coal was recently ruled out by everybody with an interest in things Like Tomago Aluminium smelter which Last time I checked was 16% of NSW's electricity. State Gov's have in the Past made Power available to Aluminium Suppliers below COST.

Some remote areas could not pay the real cost of getting Power to their Location. Black Lung disease is still occurring in the Hunter Valley and Mine dust descends On Newcastle when the Wind Blows from the wrong Place. The WHOLE place is undermined as well making subsidence a common occurrence. Nev
