I got the dreaded email from Genesis.

Oh how nicely worded it was. No mention of a price rise. Just a price change. That makes it alright then.

Fleecing bastards.

I thought the govt were supposed to get round to doing something about these out-of-control price rises?

You expect the govt to do something about it? It won't happen, whether it's National or Labour. Politicians won't feel the pinch as they are all rich people with big fat pay packets from our taxes.

873732 2010-04-06 20:47:00 If you borrow $4000 and install a solar system,it will cost you $320 a year to service it,you will save more than that in electricity costs,and it will get better each year as price goes up.

Include $1000 gov. subsidy and it might be even better..
Worth doing sums and having a look!
