TONY Abbott has visited the energy capital of the USA to insist he does not want the battle against climate change to limit the use of any type of fuel.
Promoting his plan to scrap the carbon tax in front of an audience of energy executives in Houston, Texas, Mr Abbott said he wanted Australia to become a centre of cheap energy.
While he said Australia should look towards new energy sources, he said we should also focus on cheap and reliable energy.
“Affordable, reliable energy fuels enterprise and drives employment,” Mr Abbott said.
“It is the engine of economic development and wealth creation.”
“Australia should be an affordable energy superpower, using nature’s gifts to the benefit of our own people and the wider world.”
