barefootstache<p>A hypothetical scenario behind the anti seed oil movement is that the proponents are being bought off by various <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/lobbies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>lobbies</span></a>. This would be seen if the profit margins of non seed oils is higher than seed oils.</p><p>Some examples of a non seed oil come from the <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/dairy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dairy</span></a> industry and it seems in general that the global market size of dairy is many folds greater than for seed oils. Additionally, it seems like the dairy industry gets also many folds more subsidies than the seed oils industry. These both statements would confirm the original <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/hypothesis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>hypothesis</span></a>.</p><p>Though if in return the <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/subsidies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>subsidies</span></a> <br> for the seed oils industry would increase, therefore providing the dairy industry with cheaper material, then it would create an increased profit margin.

quackademic<p>Local generation, storage &amp; management of solar power is the way to go. State governments &amp; local councils could be leading this.</p><p>Until then - why not use a wholesale provider like <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Amber" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Amber</span></a>? Customers pay a monthly connection fee plus a subscription fee of $19, then buy &amp; sell power at market rates. Households with solar systems have their output curtailed when feed in tariffs are negative (as happens often), export solar power when prices are positive, &amp; if they choose to, export from battery when prices are high. You can allow the system to automate the process or you can control it yourself. This is cost effective for households that have a battery, although those with panels only may see no financial benefit compared to standard retail plans (it’s very difficult to compare relative costs of a curtailed system with those from the same system operating without curtailment, so wholesale plans don’t appear on cost comparison sites). For households with no solar, if you’re able to shift most of your usage to times when there’s lots of solar in the grid, costs are Way Way Cheaper. We did this before we had solar installed &amp; the difference was Huge. If you need to cook dinner every evening or like to heat your house a lot, savings are not so much. </p><p>Whatever our situation, buying electricity <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/wholesale" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>wholesale</span></a> makes it immediately easy to see where our power is coming from &amp; to make informed choices.
