Seems free permits are well out the door already.... once the White Paper comes out... v. little chance of changing policy. No matter how high/low the target is, if heavy polluters are 'shielded' from the emissions price - little chance of structural adjustment being effective in bringing forward renewables....

We can't afford to not care or to be resigned to careless and heartless decisions. At a time when such horrendous decisions are frighteningly easy for governments to make, no other attitude is as irresponsible as not having an opinion.
