Join the Zero Carbon Project to lower your cost of electricity and promote renewable and zero carbon electricity in Australia as well as globally.

The Federal government recently announced that they want to put an end to price gouging in the Australian electricity market but their new “big stick” policy relying on “Fair Dinkum Power” from fossil fuel is flawed. Their promised savings are based on comparing apples with pears.

Fair Dinkum Power? Relax and switch to zero carbon electricity via the Zero Carbon Project

The Zero Carbon Project can help you compare electricity prices and sign up with the best offer in town

The Australian Financial Review correctly pointed out that ScoMo and his energy minister Angus Taylor base their promised cost savings of up to $800+ per year on a comparison between the annual bills for high consumption households and low consumption households. Furthermore, the rising cost of electricity in Australia is not just a function of retailers keeping customers on legacy, above market price contracts but also of rising fuel prices (especially gas), climate change (a drought means that there is less water available for hydro power) and taxes. Furthermore, ScoMo did not tell us when and if he would use his big stick to get retailers into line. However, any customer can already use the Zero Carbon Project to compare electricity prices in Australia and thereby lower your cost of electricity by signing up with the best offer in the market.

And what about Fair Dinkum Power?

At the Zero Carbon Project we are on the same page as Atlassian CEO Mike Cannon-Brookes because we are tackling climate change using the blockchain and we switch households to renewable or zero carbon electricity contracts. Therefore, rather than waiting for the government to deliver on low cost promises that they actually cannot keep or waiting for the government to back a 100% renewable electricity market “vote” yourself by switching your electricity supply via the Zero Carbon Project (follow these steps: https://medium.com/zero-carbon-project/reducing-carbon-emissions-with-the-zero-carbon-project-in-australia-9f765534a23d) to:

  1. Save money;
  2. Help save the planet by consuming renewable or zero carbon electricity; and
  3. Get rewarded with ZCC tokens.

So in the view of the Zero Carbon Project THAT is Fair Dinkum Power or to quote Mike Cannon-Brookes: “Fair Dinkum Power means fair to Aussies, to our wallets AND to the planet.

Sounds too good to be true? Well it is not!
