Look it's not politically convenient
we could power Oz by the sun, wind and waves, we get more sun than nearly any other country so why don't we
we could stop burning coal and retrain those people to work in the alternative power industries
the same as we could stop forrestry in old growth regions
but it's not politcally convenient to do so
if a PM and some pollies regardless of what party had the gumption to make tough decisions for this country and stuck by them then things would be different
carbon tax and solar power rebates are just piecemeal efforts and political niceties that force the onus back on the general population while industry prospers at our expense
why are we paying more for petrol now that when fuel was running at $110 a barrell at the height of the gulf war how soon we forget and how easily we are manipulated
