Without the proper back-up power and policies that support it, the United States could end up facing the similar unreliability that challenges the electrical grid in South Australia
As of July 1, 2017, electricity prices in the state of South Australia are the highest in the world, exceeding Denmark's due to price increases of between 15.3 and 19.9 percent by its three major electric utilities.1In nearby New South Wales the problem is not much better, with more than 60,000 households at risk of having their power cut off because they cannot afford the bills.
