What's an ETS going to cost? What about extra charges due to the drought...

Those extra charges due to the drought were supposed to be dropped when the water situation improved...

How interesting...
Carbon tax could increase electricity costs from 40% to 100%
Then there'd be another 30% on top of that for green power initiatives
Then another 30% increase in supply charges.

Hello? Is anyone paying attention?

All this to "solve" a problem which doesn't exist...

It's sad but i'm starting to run out of patience and tax money. Really how much of my coin do these dribbling idiots want?

Some of the pundits out there put the cost at $1100 to $1600/year.

In the year to 1 July 2009, our (SEQ) domestic tariff ($ per kWh) increased by 34% above the 30 June 2008 rate. That increase was largely because the Qld generators have stopped spending money on coal-fired energy and are replacing it with more expensive gas-fired generators in anticipation of the ETS.

Notice that the media has built a nice decorative screen to hide the current elephant in the room — the East Anglia CRU leaks.
But now the elephant has started to crap and piss on the carpet.
The stench is creeping through the screen and even the ABC will have to do something about it soon.
