Dear Reader, Energy prices. At least on the east coast of Australia, it’s a hot topic right now. And with summer upon us and air conditioners firing up, everyone’s power bill is about to go up…again. That much is certain. What is less known is just why this is the case. Australia is blessed with huge energy reserves, especially gas reserves. For decades, we have had a competitive advantage in energy costs. Households and businesses have had a cheap and reliable energy supply. Electricity costs just haven’t been an issue. But seemingly overnight, that has all changed. Energy policy was a major reason why (former) Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull got the boot in August 2018. At the same time, half the country has lost its head and thinks that renewable energy is the answer to our present woes. Meanwhile, most of us just want to keep our energy costs down. And avoid ANOTHER tax at a time of year when you really don’t want additional expenses. I’ve just completed a research whitepaper that shows you how to do that. It’s called ‘The REAL Reason Why Your Energy Bill Will Skyrocket This Summer’. And it will be yours, as a welcome gift, if you join my new ‘renegade’ e-letter, The Rum Rebellion. It’s free. It will, I am hoping, bring you much pleasure — and radically improve your life — in 2019. And, I reiterate, it’s free. Not only that, it will not come with the caveat that you’re deluged with sales messages. I have strict control over when and what we promote to Rum Rebellion readers. And as far as the foreseeable future goes when it comes to advertising my policy is: NEVER. And NOTHING So, your inbox will NOT be cluttered with even more promotional junk if you sign up here. You will get The Rum Rebellion. And that’s it. As the very least, ‘The REAL Reason Why Your Energy Bill Will Skyrocket This Summer’ is probably worth the free subscription. Australia is in a weird situation regarding energy. It’s the result of a flawed long-term economic strategy over the past 20 years. This involved (and still does) an over reliance on debt-fuelled consumption, asset speculation and selling dirt to China. There’s no one political party to blame for this. Both sides of politics, and the political bureaucracy at large, are responsible. They were happy to keep the population docile and drunk on property price rises while selling off our strategic assets to the highest bidder. When it comes to Australia’s east coast energy reserves and associated infrastructure, it seems as though the ‘national interest’ did not come into play. The report explains everything. It shows how we got here. How the government sold us out when it comes to energy assets. Why it’s likely to reach boiling point this summer. And what, as a pragmatic libertarian, not an ideologue, your appropriate response should be. It is the perfect entre into The Rum Rebellion. Which is why we’re offering it as an introduction if you sign up for free here. This is the type of economic analysis you can expect, Monday to Friday. WITHOUT being hammered by advertising messages from various newsletters and whatnot. The essays will be shorter in length, but the subject matter will focus on the important issues that could impact you and your wallet. I’ll tell you what’s REALLY going on, whether the subject matter is politics, the economy, or the stock market. We don’t rely on advertising, and so have no agenda to push, apart from calling out phoneys and giving you stock market insights to improve your investing skills and bank balance.
