Delaying the ETS (or a carbon tax, which I'd prefer) will only increase the costs assocaited with 'internalizing the externaility', the earlier we can subsidize low-carbon intensive electricity production, the better.
The most pathetic thing about those who agree with Andrew Bolt, is that, unbeknown to them, he doesnt actually believe a word he writes, he does it to 'rev up the bogans' or appeal to the 'lowest common denominator', which is of course the hallmark of The Herald Sun.
I think arguments about nuclear power or the type of tax are healthy, and should be encouraged, but if you want to debate the science, or whether we should lowering our emissions, can you please go pack up your things and head of to the nearest tralior park, because you have been disqualified from the discussion.
