System / Market

The 2min 30s comedy skit by Clarke and Dawe, back in March 2017, is still astute today.  They remind us that in Australia, we don’t have an energy system, we have an energy market.  And that is the difference.

As per usual, Clarke and Dawe describe it humorously well and there are a lot of gems there (link in the comments below).

A system is defined as “a set of things working together as parts of a mechanism or an interconnecting network; a complex whole.” 

A market is “an area or arena in which commercial dealings are conducted.”

Very astute indeed.
