Carbon Tax Job Losses

Record prices for carbon fuels have ensured that they are used efficiently, so option one is out. Therefore, to reduce carbon emissions, we must produce less steel and cement, export less minerals, use less motor fuel and avgas, raise fewer cows and sheep and use less carbon based electricity. Every such reduction MUST be accompanied by jobs losses as industries contract or move overseas. Sunbeams and sea breezes may sometimes run the lights in a few homes, but can the alchemists in Canberra explain how we can sustain our steel, cement, tourism, mining and agricultural industries without carbon fuels such as coal, diesel, petrol and gas? They need to tell us, otherwise we know that their "science" is a sham and they are just lusting after the revenue and power that comes with a Big New Tax.
