note that this Australian article puts a dollar figure on the cost of government payments to solar but only states that network upgrades will add to costs (in really by an order of magnitude more than solar subsidies). Then there are the costs of replacing coal power stations as they wear out (memory says about half of Australia's coal plants are at or approaching 'end of life'.

And no mention that although the government in NSW is paying PV residential for the power, the power is then supplied free to the retail networks.

An unbalanced, selective representation of the actual PV cost to everyone situation.
