Default Re: Victoria to reinstate the SEC

The main problem with going back to the SEC government type of ownership is that should the SEC on behalf of the government invest in obsolete or white elephant type of power generation the entire risk will be born by the tax payer

The main advantage of leaving it in private hands is that if they fk up its on them.

Back in the day it was solely coal, gas and hydro pretty straight forward.

One good thing about it going back to the gov is that should the grid fail for any reason we know who to blame as they have taken total responsibility from design of to ownership of the system

Probably the Desal plant is an indicator of what the SEC will be like. If you think that was value for money and the gov did a good job u will support the SEC.
