From The Australian

?Hawke and Keating floated the dollar; we will price carbon,? she told a Committee for Economic Development of Australia luncheon in Melbourne.

?A carbon price will drive another sweeping technological revolution like information technology did in the 1980s and 90s.

?New technologies bringing new jobs and demanding new skills; using the abundant resources of this nation - solar, wind, geothermal that currently go to waste; manufacturing more and exporting more.

?And regaining comparative advantage, because the world is always in the market for good ideas.?


It's lucky that people like WS didn;t need a carbon tax to "drive another sweeping technological revolution". I think Gillard will be quite happy to learn that there are budding companies just like CKK which are all set to go that will take advantage of these policies .

CKK is a great play on potential carbon pricing policies without having the risk of an individual geothermal explorer and the large amounts of capital that go into these projects. For once it will be me reaping the benefits of capital raisings (others paying for CKK drilling) instead of me pouring money into them.
