Part of the frustration is that because our cities are arse land is too expensive for government projects that would improve them (according to neolib, country-as-household financial theories). Building out the infrastructure for like large battery farms in Syd for example is a nightmare problem for a government afraid to government.

NSW is doing a very neolib plan of subsiding household batteries if you agree to turn your house into a powerplant (details uncertain but presumably incentives to feed the grid and charge during peak times). could help solve the coal dependency as much as it’s not my fav idea.
