Coal produces the cheapest electricity in most areas of the world, especially in the modern clean power stations being constructed in Asia and India. Many of these plants will rely on imports of high quality Australian coal. The aim of the carbon tax is to increase the domestic cost of carbon fuels like coal, oil products and gas thus forcing Australian industry and consumers to use high-cost non-carbon energy options like wind and solar power.
The carbon taxaholics are thus asking Australian industry and exporters plants to use expensive power while we supply cheap power to their competitors. This policy of cheap energy for foreigners but not for locals is a path signposted with promises of paradise, but paved with poverty for those forced to tread there.
