Infigen shares are down about 25 per cent since January, while shares in Silex Systems, a solar power project developer, have almost halved in five months. Geodynamics Limited, a speculative geothermal or ''hot rocks'' play, was trading above 9¢ in January but now changes hands at 5 cents.
And billions of dollars worth of renewable energy projects - $2 billion in wind projects with Infigen alone - have stalled due to the uncertainty.

Indeed, total emissions from the National Electricity Market - which serves eastern Australia - are down 17.2 million tonnes, or about 11 per cent, since the carbon tax launched in July 2012, says Hugh Saddler of energy consultancy Pitt & Sherry

Mr Obama has recently stepped up his response promising a 30 per cent reduction in coal-fired emissions by 2030 in the US and proposing to use US leadership to secure co-ordinated global action.

In direct contrast to Mr Abbott's position, Mr Obama recently said that if there was one thing he could do to curb global warming it would be to put a price on carbon and then let polluters figure out a way of minimising their costs.

Abbott is still saying Obama plan is direct action.
