Dont you understand a co2 tax ?

That would be a "No" quite obviously.
Or perhaps "Yes" depending on your perspective.
Either way RED if no CO2 is used in production that means no CO2 tax

I am not sure you are aware of startup costs for full independance from the grid, the life span of the cells, the overall payback amount with and without tarrifs.

It is not a cheap exersice.

You can have a solar system stuck on your roof for under $2000.
The prices plummeted after the govt rebate was scraped.

Can't do that, I'm renting.

But a little petrol generator is becoming more appealing and economical by the day.

Cut your use of electricity by the corresponding amount of the carbon tax and spend the compensation on a holiday.
Its not rocket science

Can't be done.

Single bloke, running the minimum of electrical appliances.

NO plasma, NO A/C. Only ever one room occupied at a given time.

Appliances/lights etc all energy-efficient.

Gas heating.

There is NOTHING that I can cut.

Nothing.

In fact, I'm sitting here typing this in the dark, using the backlit keyboard......

When politicians offer you something for nothing, or something that sounds too good to be true, it's always worth taking a careful second look.
