Power Bills to Double Under Emissions Scheme
Duncan Seddon: Power bills to double under emissions scheme – ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation).
I find it interesting how there are hundreds of articles about various industries that will “suffer” from the Carbon Emission Scheme. Yet there is only this tiny little mention of how it will affect our daily lives.
Having to pay twice as much for electricity sounds outrageous at firt. However, that is only the case, if we do not change our behaviour. And that is exactly the point of the emission scheme:
Changing behaviour from the wasteful use of non-renewable resources with its attached pollution.
So I really welcome the increase in costs and hope that it will spurn many new solutions that can be offered to the market and will enjoy a quick uptake.
