The simple response to avoid the proposed tax on carbon pollution is to switch to renewable electricity generation and implement energy efficiency measures.

Big business will need to finance and build renewable energy infrastructure as they transition from fossil fuels, with Federal government assistance by virtue of the carbon pollution tax.

Medium and small businesses will source their supplies from companies whose costs are lower by virtue of them switching to sustainable practises and avoiding carbon pollution tax.

Households will have larger electricity bills, again fully compensated by the carbon pollution tax. They can also choose to implement energy efficiency measures to lower those bills, a win/win situation for them and the environment.

Prices of goods and services will not rise as much as the naysayers spruik, if at all, because the usual market constraints will apply. Businesses that adapt and adjust will thrive because they won’t be paying the tax on carbon pollution.

Australia, having switched to 100% renewable energy, will be insulated from world fossil fuel pricing fluctuations. In fact, we’ll eventually have complete energy security, no longer needing to play the ‘chase the ever diminishing energy resources’ game. Employment will skyrocket. We will have a competitive world market advantage, pricing our exports below those of countries still reliant upon fossil fuels.
