    reportedly neither her nor Caton were paid.

    Moby you say


    "I suspect people opposing the introduction of clean energy have their noses out of joint because so many people are coming out of the woodwork to say it's a good thing to phase out dirty carbon emissions"

    can you please explain to me how we are phasing it out?

    Thats the bit I still don't get and no one appears to know.
    Are we simply hoping that because it is more expensive to produce because of a tax that people will seek cleaner energy because it is more affordable?

    The problem is they keep changing the rules on rebates re solar so how do you know your cost? At the moment the payback isn't there financially to swicth over to solar etc.

    Maybe putting solar on all new homes would be a start but I guess that would be deemed anti competitive but hitting them with a tax that they can pass on isn't.

    With everyone pulling out of Kyoto it would seem that whilst we may be doing something noble, the effect will be non existant.

    China and America are the two biggest carbon polluters and they are doing nothing apparently.

    I live in the hope that geothermal will prove viable and we can do away with coal and uranium over the course of time. Can't see coal being phased out any time soon or our relience on oil. The cartels are too big and powerful to allow it to happen atm. But maybe one day.

    I am not against making a change to address polluting the atmosphere and perhaps making an effect on climate change. I am however against the intrusive cost of an illconceived plan that will in the end achieve little but cost a lot imo.

    It simply won't make any difference to carbon emmisions so seems crazy to me. When America, China and India address the issue then perhaps there can be a difference.

    So I can support the desire but cannot support the action.
