Business confused by emissions reporting

With just over a month to go until Australia's mandatory carbon emissions reporting scheme comes into force, heads of business remain confused about its requirements.
From July 1, the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting (NGER) Act 2007 requires business to begin collecting mandatory information about their output of greenhouse gas emissions and their production and consumption of energy.
PriceWaterhouseCoopers (PWC) director Sean Lucy says he expects many Australian business will be caught unaware by the mandatory reporting requirements.
Although business must begin collecting the information from this July...

However Carbon Trading will at least see the development of alternate energy sources.
Peak Oil may be with us already...
We could really bite the bullet and make electic cars (hybrids ok) as our preferred motor vehicle for Australia.
IF decide to do it, switch can be achieved quickly through rapidly reducing tax credits.or write offs to those who purchase hybrids...
A real gain could come from being a country which has made switch, perhaps building them for export to Indonesia or China or wherever... or through developing partnerships with industry in those countries as they build for us.

Most responsible scientists today recognise that CO2 is
NOT a driver of climate change and so Carbon Trading is
a very well organized scam.
Plenty of comments from recognised people such as signatories to the Manhattan Declaration of 2008 support
this truth. Check www.lavoisier.com.au |

Carbon Trading in Australia at $19 a tonne.
http://au.biz.yahoo.com/080520/31/1r0vv.html
=====extract follows:
Power company AGL has sold Westpac the right to emit 10,000 tonnes of carbon at $19 a tonne. But that price is less than half the going rate for carbon on the European market.
Ten thousand tonnes of carbon may sound like a lot, but the reality is, it is a mere fraction of the pollution that is being pumped into the atmosphere every day. |
