A carbon price mechanism places artificial pressure to force change in both consumers and producers of energy
In what way will the current mechanism do that? As a producer I pay the carbon tax and pass on the extra cost to the consumer. As a consumer, the Government has decided it will compensate me so that I'm not out of pocket so am happy to pay the extra cost.
Where's the incentive for either side to do anything?

1. You won't even notice the carbon tax.
Again, so what is the point then? Neither will the producer.
