Yeldub. Who said anything about big business V small business. Not me. I just said the consumer will go to the business who does not need to pass on the Carbon ETS wafpp. If Fred's transport business can run without passing the cost on, then maybe Nolans is doing something wrong. Maybe Nolan should ask Fred how he runs such a tight ship.
The tax is imposed on an absolute number of CO2 emitted. The number is the number. Running a tighter ship won't help. He will have to reduce the size of the fleet to get the number down. Hence turning a big business into a small business.
Denben What are these harmful gases that you keep going on about? Harmful to what? Plants love CO2. What is the human death or harm toll from CO2?
