Thread: No carbon tax = emissions up

Er, from the article:

There were a number of other factors, including “unexpectedly low” wind-power generation and an increase in electricity demand after a period when it had fallen.

Oh, my power consumption has been up over the last three months, not because of the carbon tax (or removal of), but because of a few cold snaps and installation of additional electrical devices such as NBN equipment.

Not too much please - that emits carbon dioxide...

Another selected quote from the article:

“We can stop emissions altogether if we all just sit here and do nothing, but we think it’s a good idea to have a strong economy and create more jobs. “

It's being noticed over country Victoria and no doubt other regional areas in Australia. As our manufacturing industries are moving off shore, the demand for electricity is falling. Despite a short rise in power consumption, I'm tipping there has been a decline over the past few years and it will continue to decline.
