That was my understanding. The 'compensation' is just a temporary tax break on the carbon tax for 'X' years. It is to have the massive increase, in so called cheap coal power, spread over a longer time. Handy for pollies to get re-elected. The carbon tax revenues will subsidise getting the green alternative energy schemes up and going.
How do the alternative energy sources fund themselves, after coal is given up for power generation? You pay for the FULL cost. Analogy: How do you make a Bentley more attractive to buy? Make that Hyundai you buy, increase to the same price as the Bentley over a number of years. The only thing is, you will still only be driving an Hyundai. |
