We shouldnt complain too much about governments and bills though everyone, we live in THE BEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD!! Think of all the awesom-ness we can do everyday. Our 4wds, whether they be built for touring or hardcore crawling, are a testament to how much we all love this country...... damn i wish i could power my trol with a solar panel though!

Well if we aren't saving money or saving the future what would be the point of going solar???

And there will be no point owning a 4wd if the goverments and anti 4wd lobbies get there way and close everything down. I wouldn't say Its the best country in the world in some respects but it could also be a lot worse than what it currently is.

Fossil fuels are gonna run out, the sun won't. And if it does we are gonna have bigger problems than where to get our power.

Yes, but from what I understand its not the best on overcast days and its illegal to charge battery's so you can be self sufficient. Also don't forget even if you could be self sufficient on solar, you will still have to pay an electricity service fee for the luxury of power poles running past your place even if you don't use the service.

OMG Todd, turn that frown up-side-down!!!

very true mate i dont use the town water but get charged for the connection to property
and sewerage just to flush the pipe and i put the tanks in to save lol

Solar may be a part of the future, I'm not ruling it out completely, but the gain to expense ratio isn't the best.

Now at work we are experimenting with a newly developed fuel that is completely renewable and eco friendly. That is as much as I can reveal, but when we go public I will let you know.

Cheers!

Sorry mate, but if the government can charge you for something they will and if they can't they will come up with some bogus tax scheme just so they can

Never understood how they can get away with charging you a service fee for power and water even if you aren't connected to it.....................just one big scam

This project was started well before the carbon tax was even thought of!

I know a bloke who lives on a river. He has solar, wind turbine and a water wheel. Completely self sufficient 24/7 bloody expensive setup though.
