By David Leyonhjelm, published 29/8/2014

The RET has an even greater impact than the carbon tax on the bottom line, reducing our living standards and the competitiveness of our entire economy.

What about those pensioners who invested large sums in solar panels on the basis of the bi-partisan agreements pioneered by Howard,continued by Labor. Another broken promise by the Abbot government.
The coal industry has the Abbot government in its pocket.

To call him a Luddite is insulting to Luddites.

The man needs to get a grip on the numbers before he talks such arrant nonsense.

Cutting power bills can also be achieved by installing PV. Works beautifully.

Hi Cambo

If pensioners invested large sums in solar panels they sound too rich to be equitably eligable for pensions.

How about saying "what about rich people who receive unnecessary government solar panel subsidies so those people can feel good and green?"

At last Australia's Federal Government is doing the analyses that should have been done before we legislated to favour renewable energy over other types of generation. At last the government is seriously considering unwinding some of the massive subsidies to renewable energy.

Taxpayers and consumers are subsidising carbon reduction schemes (including renewable energy) by about $20 billion a year. That's roughly equivalent to Australia's total Defence budget.

However, these carbon reduction policies will make no difference to the climate or to sea levels. That is, these policies will not deliver the benefits their proponents claim as justification for the enormous (wasted) expenditure.
