Thinking about that more, I looked at some stats on embodied energy.
I guesstimate that we'll have 30-40% of the house left. The lowest embodied energy houses have 10 years of operational use embodied, the worst 20 years. The low figure for energy consumption is 10 tonnes per house per year, 20 for big places.
A return flight CBR - Cairns emits 0.7 tonnes so there's around 70 return flights to Cairns in the embodied energy at the low figure.
Our household is closer to the low figures and the embodied energy of 20 years use happened 30 years ago.
If we take @Haakon's it's all too late view, at the very least we'll be more comfortable than most when the power rationing begins
