High Electricity Prices.., Gold-Plated Poles & Wires, Or Global Warming..?

Ever rising Electricity Prices.., some claim the phenomena is due to the "unneccessary" construction of Grid Infrastructure, which is now being paid-for by Consumers, via exorbitant "Connection Fees".

Another available explanation involves the Privatisation of the Electricity Generation and Distribution Infrastructure having resulted in Cost-Cutting aimed at Profit-Maximisation, leading to sustained inadequate levels of Preventative-Maintenance while otherwise busily constructing new Infrastructure the better to cater to the burgeoning Populations in all the State Capitals & Regional Cities and the East-Coast Tourist-Strip, Sea-Change & Tree-Changer zones...; and recently, as the increasing frequency & increasing intensity of Record-Breaking Extreme-Weather Events has been repeatedly deconstructing big bits of the Grid - via Storms & Fires, mainly, and Heatwaves.., it has been impossible to complete something as simple as replacing the Lightning-Risers on a 55 year-old 132,000-Volt Feeder-Line, 3 years after a Storm stopped work on the job.

Review the data, and you decide which explanation is more likely to be correct.
