I don't doubt that the climate is changing. Whether or not we're 100% responsible for that change....or even 5% responsible is completely debatable. I also agree we should be looking towards renewable energy....but we have been, for a long time.
Solar is NOT a viable option for people living in the Southern parts of Australia – it’s the biggest waste of money con-job going around! Wind power is a bit of a crock also (not to mention expensive to maintain - thus expensive to use) We're charged through the teeth for "natural gas" and it appears the only way the government can make renewable energy an option, is to make the currently cheaper, more available, existing forms of coal powered energy MORE EXPENSIVE than green energy! And that's because green energy is expensive & time consuming in its manufacture and maintenance.
We're just digging a bigger hole looking for something that isn't quite there to be discovered yet. The trouble is it'll be so deep by the time we realize that fact we'll have trouble crawling out of it to change direction - because we've killed the industries which are inadvertently helping us to find those choices at the present moment.
Haven't we just green stamped another coal-powered electrical station here in Vic?? Now that really is ironic! :lol: Why are we doing it? Because the current grid is already at capacity due to an increasing population.
No but I suspect they know there will be a knock on effect, which will affect their bottom line.

Did anyone see the news last night with the CEOs of Woolworths, Coles, Bunnings and David Jones all saying that they will have to shed jobs if the Carbon Tax goes ahead?
What is funny is that none of these companies will be taxed directly by the Carbon Tax.
