ETS and Carbon Pollution

Thankfully the KRudd government's ETS bill was defeated first time around.

There are so many reasons why this bill should never be passed in any form.

1. To date no renewable energy source is either cost effective or can meet any reasonable demand.
2. So called Green energy jobs cost more and provide less jobs.
3. Carbon might be a pollutant but CO2 certainly isn't.
4. No cost benefit analysis has been carried out (independently) on the reasonableness of such a scheme
5. The whole concept only 'works' if everyone plays.
6. The evidence to date is that the major 'polluters' are not going to play.
7. Even if adopted the money spent could do a lot better elsewhere
8. Let's not even talk about the AGW issue.
