If it does happen and we get blackouts it'll show how short sighted this and previous governments have been regarding power supply and where we get it from.
It'll also show that our recovery is very fragile as if we end up going on a short working week due to lack of energy supply recession will undoubtedly follow.
No one particular gov can be blamed but the current one less so than Labor as if they had the foresight some new energy producing plants would be coming online around about now.
You have to discount renewables as it would take a huge effort from everyone (fill your roofs with photovoltaic panels and your gardens with mini turbines) to get the job done on that part.
Talking about renewable energy, we're looking into photovoltaic panels for our roof but our pitch is easy and west not the favored south facing.
