Carbon pricing in Australia; current Prime Minister Abbott prepares to scrap it

Savings from oil and coal importation

 

The recent post made on the closure of a 1 gW coal power plant in Australia (Mallerawang, northwest of  Sydney) led me to research carbon tax in Australia.  The carbon tax was imposed under the Julia  Gillard government  and became effective in July 2012

The carbon tax covers industries not in agriculture or transport sector that emit greenhouse gases of over 25,000 ton Initially, the tax was at $10.00 per tonne. The price now is at $23.00 per ton. The Department of Climate Change says that there were 260 liable entities as of June 2013. Greenhouse gases, are primarily produced by:   oil refineries, power generators and account for less than half of total emissions.  The carbon tax which is part of Clean Energy Plan is aimed primarily at reducing the carbon emissions by 5% from 2000 to 2010

Australia generates only 1.5% of the total emissions, but the per capita is the highest in the world:  about 20 tons per individual.  It is about 19 tons per capita in USA.

However, three days ago, the current Prime Minister of Australia Tony Abbott prepared a draft legislation to abolish the carbon tax by July 2014.  He called on the Labor party not to block the legislation.

What do you think of the carbon tax in Australia?  Is it harmful to the local economy?

Is it good for the environment?

I think this is the only govt which did solid steps to enforce the Kyoto protocol and control carbon emissions.

I think all nations must be united to control greenhouse emissions if we are to arrest climate change which results in more  powerful typhoons and constant floodings

                                
                               

Australian Company Star 8, makes solar powered Tuktuk

Savings from oil and coal importation

 

From From Clean Technica

An Australian company Star 8 is making solar powered Tuktuk which are targetting Asian countries using petrol powered trikes.  In China for instance, to lessen pollution, petrol powered trikes are being banned.  The product was conceived by Jacob Maimon who noticed that only small amounts of petrol were bought by the pedicab drivers.

The solar powered Tuktuk will be made in Cambodia, and powered by a monocrystalline  solar panel at the roof, and two batteries, and may be priced from $2,000 to $3,000 each.  (ex Cambodia?)

I suppose this will be hybrid and will still be powered by  3 engine capacities:   650 cc, 800 and 1000 and two solar power variant:  500 and 800 watts.

I hope their price is affordable.  And there will be a form of financing.  That is the only way for people to accept new technology - financing - making it easy for people to buy the product.
