Yes, but like the internet and other things that need electricity, electric cars will be heavily censored and only allow the driver to go where the authorities want them to go and only if there is no more than one child in the car...

...aRMCHAIR IS HONESTLY TRYING TO STOP PROGRESS ITSELF!

LOL, GOODLUCK TRYING TO CHEW UP ENOUGH INTERNET ADDRESS SPACE TO ACHIEVE THAT LOFTY GOAL SON!!

Cheesy

If the vehicles on sale currently from Great Wall are anything to go by, then the answer may well be no.

Wonder how much Rudd spent as Foreign Minister? On carbon footprints, I may be wrong, but I seem to recall reading somewhere that Bob Brown continues to enjoy a taxpayer funded, chaffeur-driven Commodore instead of something more "green" like a Prius.

Better still riding a Clover Moore bicycle!

Not me.

I knew that.

They are the 1% that continuously screw us.

Would you vote for these charlatans?

you voted for the CARBON TAX...LOL

I voted for the Greens and independents LOL

How are the Greens travelling?

THEY' RE THE ONES THAT WANT THE CARBON TAX..

you have always bragged about how they want to save the planet with MONEY.

I'm not really in favour of the carbon tax, there could have been better ways to accomplish the same end, but hey! it's better than nothing at all.

There's nothing wrong with renewable's and green technology. It is time to cut down on the pollution, don't you think?

Have you noticed the number of houses getting solar panels on their rooftops? An incredible increase just in the last year, that's a good thing.

----------
I agree on this point but not the grid rebate- subsidised by those who didn't sign up in a hurry!

It is a great way to save on power and governments should encourage householders, e.g. with a free interest loan on the laying of panels.

OS

I'm all for cutting down on carbon emissions and moving into a cleaner source of energy and every little change helps.

We muddled through the GST and we will do the same with the carbon tax.

Governments will always find ways to get more money so they have more to waste. The travel rorts are a good example.

The more they get the more they waste. We don't have a say in it because we vote for governments that we don't really want.

What is the choice? people are sheeple, they do as they're told.

but the way things are going they may be the only cars we can afford to buy... and serves us right!

My carbon footprint would be about the size of the Yeti I imagine if you included air travel.

But bear in mind it is large business and industry that causes the world's pollution - and if you want to break it down further - China, India and the United States make up the vast majority of all pollution in the world.

So in short, there is bugger all we can do if those three don't.

Hence I will continue to fly and I will continue to drive a 5 liter GMC SUV.
Be **** if I should do something while the Chinks don't.

I think you will find that the airline business has a huge footprint...and when you get so called celebrities flying around in one man boeings... and our pollies having empty planes fly all around the place just on standby...

whilst having the hide to tell me to turn my TV off at the main to save carbon,... grrrrrrrrrrrr

so yes there is something I can do I can raise my voice in disgust... makes me feel a damn sight better when I Look at the pure hypocrisy we are surrounded with.

Clearly not the Libs - Nats or their supporters. To you guys it is nothing but a political opportunity.

Whereas you believe taxing the Australian people which would see ordinary middle income people facing ever higher cost of living pressures - for absolutely no effect whatsoever on world pollution - is a sensible option??

Yep, not sure you are qualified to call anyone names if you believe that's the way forward.

Believe it or not - a LOT of us DO

So much so, that a lot of us have made the effort to go

CARBON NEGATIVE

to cover the arses of a LOT of
LAZY *****
who say "can't someone else do it"

My opinion is that it is a Governement problem(i.e. the regulation of market forces) so personally I do next to nada except vote for change!

Grin

If solar panels are too expensive then why should I buy them!??!

If hybrid cars, or electric cars, or greener options are too expensive then why should I buy them?!!?

IT'S A REGULATED MARKETS PROBLEM!!!

THIS IS MY OPINION AND, DARE I SAY, THE VAST MAJORITiES OPINION!!!!

...we all know from year 11 economics that the problem with government intervention in the market place is trying to reverse the situation if negative externalites arise because of said governemtn intervention in the market place.... but that negative externalites arise if markets are left unregulated i.e. with no government regulation!!

IT'S A FINE LINE BETWEEN PLEASURE AND PAIN!

"LOVER, LOVER WHY DO YOU PUSH??? WHY DO YOU PUSH WHY DO YOU....." Cheesy

Saying all that i think Australia is going to MAKE OUT ALRIGHT!!! Cool

...becoz: WE HAVE STARTED SOMETHING! Wink
