The national power grid is holding together but as more power is needed it will need more investment especially with the EV push and skewing of the market So watch the price continue to creep up. So Indonesian coal continues to be burnt even though our natural gas is far cleaner. The government have stopped our coal and oil and gas exploration too. Even though our coal is cleaner burning and not imported and hundreds of truck loads on our roads. Think all infrastructure and health etc will increase in cost as this governments bureaucracy has thousands more on the payroll to push inflation . The poor will feel it worse and more will join their ranks


Absolutely right Kancho.
