Having trashed the cheapest and most reliable power supply in the world, the Australian (failed) State of Victoria simply can’t keep the lights on. Hundreds of thousands of families were left boiling in the dark last week, and it took days to restore power across the People’s Republic. Melbourne Airport was left without power for […]
