All over & out of hot water?

Well, thank god the Federal Government Leadership crisis is over (publicly) at least. Having recently read the book "So Greek: Confessions of a Conservative Leftie" By Niki Savva, it was interesting to compare the behind-the-scenes tensions in the Howard Government versus the open blood-letting and disparaging comments from Labor heavies. Somewhat more heat and head-kicking in the Labor tussle, but nevertheless a strongly held dispute about personalities, policies and of course POWER.
Speaking of power and Green Schemes, the Solar Hot Water industry is howling with rage over the early closure of the rebate by the Federal Government. These schemes have been so popular and the industry has geared up its workforce and installations so much that Federal Government coffers and planning can't keep up.
So on goes the boom & now bust cycle!
I'm glad we got in early to get a rebate, however, 18 years ago we also installed solar hot-water without a rebate and managed to have long years of relatively problem free hot water, particularly during the gas pipe-line explosion years age.
So lets hope the ALP can keep out of hot water (doubtful) and manage to stay its term, long enough to see what the Carbon Tax will do to us all. And then see if they lose the next election.
