Power shares

[Hoop]

Just an interesting point (a bit off topic)...My solar power monitor informs me that our household has a total CO2 saving of 6.63 Tonnes to date (installed the panels 18 months ago).
Admittedly our country emits less CO2 with hydroelectric power generation, but its interesting observing many countries of the world pushing consumers towards green micro-generation (subsidies etc) yet our so-called "green leaning"government of 4 years has been strangely silent..
Perhaps one of the possible reasons .. After the installation of the import/export meter I questioned why I was only allowed to export a maximum of 3kw/hr back to the grid, only to be told that the run down state of the power lines in our area could not handle a higher amount..I was told I was lucky as if I lived a couple of kilometers further down the road I would have a limit of exporting only 1kw/hr..

Sounds similar to what happened to our railway system...eh?
