The real danger as I see it is this damned electoral collage. Trump actually lost the election but they put him in the Whitehouse anyway.
No matter how many people may vote against him next election, and reports seem to indicate there may well be a record turnout, if the small group of men making up the electoral collage decide they want him as president, he will be. What the people want is irrelevant.

George, what are the blow up marks on the orange conduit that has the 4 GPO's and heads off elsewhere? Is that where that fire started a few years ago?

I have been wondering how it's been going George?
Have you created a spreadsheet or daily record of performance?

Dot, we went with Arise Solar and got $3300 Government rebate, quite good to deal with and the installation contractor did a good job however, I'm having a problem getting the wifi to mobile working.

Bruce, I have created a spreadsheet and will be interested to see how it compares to the next couple of electricity bills. Have fed 161kWh into the grid in 10 days however, the feed-in tariff is only 12.5c but every little bit helps. With off peak hot water at 8c/kWh after discounts I think we will leave it at that for the time being. The inverter is a Growatt 5kW unit and they have been helpfull re the problem with the wifi connection and have sent another wifi dongle, arriving a day after contacting them.
