Have you had the chance to
catch up on President Obama's State of the Union Address today?
President Obama called on
Congress to put in place a market-based mechanism to deal with carbon
emissions.
That means President Obama
is calling for a price on carbon. Just like we have here in Australia
thanks to this Labor Government.
From our experience, we
know it won't be easy and that the President will meet tough
opposition.
For years climate sceptics
have argued the United States is not acting, so nor should Australia.
The President also pointed
out that China is going full steam ahead on moving to renewable
energy sources and the United States has to do the same.
These shifts on the
international stage make it more important than ever that Australia
continues to act on climate change. We must not go backwards.
