Funny if it wasnt so serious.
A few weeks ago i had to go down to the big smoke. To to left of me where coal trains going to the largest coal export port in the world. To right of me were components going to the latest wind turbine farm in the north new england.
So we not allowed to use coal here in Australia but are allowed to export the stuff. We export the high quality coal and we use the the lower quality here.
Yesterday we were told we are 1.27 % of the worlds co2 emiters. Remember that what we export and what that country burns is place on Australia co2 emmision. A country of 25 million.
So if you think that if we stop exporting how long do you think it would take mmm lets say china to come down and just take it.
Mean while we now pay the highest power rates in the world pay high personal tax while we export or country away and get nothing for it.
6 billoin australian $$$$ this year alone will go overseas in goverment subitites to support wind turbines.
