why is it stupid?

because 1% believes it's stupid?

facts are facts and you don't have it to back you

therefore your thoughts are just personal bias

Because as has been discussed - in countless other threads - the carbon tax IS NECESSARY and because removing it WILL DO MORE HARM THAN LEAVING IT IN.

Necessary? For what? Lowering GLOBAL temperature? Grin

NO! Why is it you righties can't think beyond a thought bubble? It's necessary because Australia gets its income largely from digging up coal and flogging it off overseas.

What happens when other countries move to alternative energies? And make no mistake, they are. What are we going to flog when nobody wants our coal? We'll fast become a third world country that's what. Unless we've get something else up our collective sleeve. We've got money now. We need to use it now to get ourselves in the lead on this.

The carbon tax is NECESSARY because (i) it provides the funds needed for the research and (ii) it tilts the market so as to give incentives for people to move to those technologies when they are developed.

Clear?

I read something a while back about the underground water we have. Sometime during howards reign there was a project near alice springs to tap into this water. Apparently the pressure is really high and it can be used as a source of energy. Unfortunately the project was scrapped like most innovative projects.

Also we have a LOT of desert. Why not set up solar panels? Apparently Las Vegas is mostly powered by solar panels. We could do it too. in fact i think i read somewhere that some australians invented some cool new solar panels that are smaller and more powerful which we sold to america. We could use those (buy them back haha).

If we start researching and funding these projects now we might have a chance when the coal industry dies.

the problem is that your argument makes takes profits away from the liberal party funds (mining magnates) therefore the libs will do anything to prevent this ... down go profits, down go political donations ..... Abbotts plan is genius .. he plans on giving our tax money to mining companies, and pretend he's reducing emmissions when in fact all he does is subsidies the mining industry and take funds away from hospitals etc ... why do you think Palmer and Rhinefart love him? .... imagine what they can do with the extra funds... a new private plane, another holiday home etc .. the possibilities are endless they'll put a solar panel on the roof and say its research ....

Not sure if it's the one you mean but Origin Energy has a 50/50 partnership with the US semiconductor manufacturer Micron Technology in a venture called Transform Solar. Transform has patented a new solar cell design developed here in Australia which is supposed to be more efficient.

That's the kind of thing we need. Developing new technologies that can be flogged world-wide. We need to get beyond just digging another hole in the backyard.
