Why Australian Businesses SHOULD back the carbon pricing.

[ramblingboy42]

There is some very good information showing how it is working and some examples showing the losses that can occur if the legislation is put through.
One good reason why business should back the carbon price – Opinion – ABC Environment (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

if mods think it's too political axe it straight away.

I feel it is informative.

Wow. I wonder who wrote that?

The "carbon tax" is a farce. It did nothing for the environment and put money, we paid, into the government coffers so they could give some of it back to us.
Now, an "emissions trading scheme", that's a whole new ball game.

You're kidding, right?

[ramblingboy42]

well Mick, if "you're kidding right?" is a justifiable answer to my question I can totally understand the reasoning behind your response.

who would you like it to be written by to give it credibility to you?

Hopefully it will remain. I laughed at the cartoon - We destroyed the world, but we made some profits at the time. The carbon tax has reduced emissions, notably from the electricity sector and the funding from the carbon tax has boosted investment into green energy in Australia. There are some great schemes going on and solar is now able to act as base load with current (haha) technology. The environmental gains however have been offset by the states increase in coal and coal seam mining. the carbon tax has been great to shake up the status quo and make cleaner technology that perhaps wasn't viable, now viable.

I think you will find there were other factors involved.

Would you like to edit that part of your post?

I guess that depends if you also believe in the budget emergency.
