Precisely, Doug. None of the so called "solutions" that they've come up with are anymore than bandaids in order to salve the people's concerns and give the pollies time to hide away from the real responsibility of actually doing something constructive about it. Jump on the bandwagon, but hope that some other poor git is going to pick up the tab.
In order to solve this problem, it's going to take billions of dollars and lots of research, but in the meantime we also need to be making some sort of effort to reduce our emissions without fear or favour to anyone...least of all big energy and business. This legislation will barely make a dent in emissions, so what's the point of it, apart from another money grabbing exercise and shaft the "little" fella whilst in the meantime pandering to their big business buddies. It happens all the time, and not just in this instance.
