Thread: The UK shows the way. Renewable energy targets met while Australia dithers

Australia was told today on fox that we are exceeding our energy targets, they told millions of Australians this.

It's an accounting trick. We are counting excess credits in a way which no other country considers to be legitimate.
Put that trick aside and we will fall well below our target, which is pathetically low anyway.
Put another way, electricity emissions fell every one of the three years we had a carbon tax, and have risen every year since it was abolished.

I work in the apparent UKs green biomass industry and can say its anything but.........

For a start we are the worlds biggest importer of wood pellets.........

Just curious, where do you import the pellets from?

Bob the pellets are imported from The USA.
Look up DRAX.
DRAX produce at least 10% of UK electricity from imported wood pellets that are worse for pollution than coal , but are counted as "renewables" as the trees are renewable in what 50years. They convert existing coal fired power stations .

It a joke and a lie.
