Even if I believed that a little extra CO2 was a problem I'd be
worried about an ETS that is simply going to move the generation
offshore where the amount of CO2 per useful unit of energy is likely
to be higher than in Australia.
I'm happy to support a 50% + reduction in Australian CO2 emissions by
2023. This is simple to do and completely within current
technological capabilities. Just replace all coal fired base load
electricity generation with nuclear, build extra capacity to replace
the peak load gas fired turbines and shed the extra to water
desalinators when not required for the grid. When I see this plan
being pushed by the greenies we'll all know they are serious.
Your ignorance can be cured with a little study.
