The Carbon Tax


The  Carbon Tax

As most people are aware the Carbon Tax will commence from the beginning of July.

Without doubt this is most detested and unfair tax of any other tax before it.

We must have taxes of many forms to run our country and infrastructures, and we all accept our taxes as an ‘evil’ necessity, but the Carbon Tax is not there for that reason.

Before explaining let’s look at the ‘reason’ the Labor government gives for imposing such a tax.

They say that if they impose a tax of $23.00 per ton of carbon dioxide  emitted, that it will force up the cost of electricity and make people reduce their consumption of electrical power.

This applies to Industry, commerce and domestic consumption of electricity. Forcing people to use less power and thus reduce the output from the thermal coal fired power stations, which in turn would use less coal and thus create less carbon dioxide.!!!
Also industry and commerce theoretically will reduce production because of the cost to them of the carbon tax, with the supposedly  same result.

Obviously the  idea came from the Greens who live in a make believe world, like middle earth, with the words ‘common sense and logic’ totally alien to them.
The facts are it will force the cost of everything up by as much as 20% from the flow on of various price increases in various industries.

But there will be NO reduction in power consumption, because electricity is essential to our homes, our jobs, our manufacturers, our industries.

Industry and manufacturers are not going to reduce production just because the cost of power has gone up 15% or more. That cost obviously will be passed on to you the consumer, who will pay the ultimate price.
Since 1993 power consumption has grown at approximately 4% per year without the slight influence from solar panels, wind generators or other ‘renewable’ energy sources.\

Thermal power generation growth has increased 98% in that period and will continue to grow to meet the demands of our growing economy and industrial demands whether the carbon tax is there or not.
The carbon tax will achieve absolutely nothing except to put our money in the pockets of the Labor government who will then proceed to pass seven thousand million (seven billion) dollars a year on to the United Nation for them to give away to ‘third world’ countries as they wish.
Your money that could have been spent on roads, health, hospitals and many other urgently needed infrastructures. At the same time the deaths on our roads will continue to increase because the desperate need for money to repair them is being pirated away by this insane government.
All this carbon tax, hot rocks programmes, solar farms, wind generators, underground carbon dioxide storage, roofing insulation programmes and clean coal technology was  supposedly intended to reduce our carbon dioxide emissions.
Every one of them is a miserable failure and the carbon tax is an obvious raping of our economy.
 The hot rocks programme collapsed, literally, and has been shut down.
 The roofing insulation programme was an unbelievable waste and a massive disaster with billions of dollars wasted.
The underground carbon dioxide storage is a total failure with nearly sixty percent of the power generated being used to pump the carbon dioxide underground.
The clean coal technology programme is another complete failure with many billions of dollars of Queenslanders money wasted and the company operating it going bankrupt.
With billions of dollars spent, the solar farms and wind generators have generated (not so called capacity) less than 1.5% of our total power.
 Excluding Hydro power at 4.6%, which has been in operation fully since 1974.
Not only has our carbon dioxide emissions in Australia NOT reduced, nor will it, but also after some thirty five years the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has NOT fallen one gram. 

Let me ask you six questions (and please no cheating) if you don’t know just write what you think it is.\
1.     What percentage is the total carbon dioxide of our atmosphere.
2.     What percentage of that is supposedly ‘man made’ carbon dioxide.

3.     What is 97% of the Worlds ‘greenhouse’ gases.

4.     What percentage of the world’s man made gases does Australia emit.

5.     If the Labor government reduced our annual emissions by 20% (which is impossible) what percentage difference would  this make to the world’s carbon dioxide level.

6.     Over the past fifty years how much has the World’s carbon dioxide increased per year.


     Answers.
A1  Total percentage is point zero three eight of one percent i.e. .038%
A2. 3.4% or   .038 x 3.4%  = .00129 of one percent of total atmosphere. Over total time.
A3. Moisture, as in clouds. Without this ‘Greenhouse’ gas there would be no life on earth as we know it because there would be no rivers, lakes or rain.
A4  1.5% or as a percentage .00001935 of one percent !!!
A5  One fifth of the above or . 00000387 of  ONE PERCENT.
A6  CO2 in the atmosphere has increased at .00008 of ONE percent per year.
After looking at these figures it is very clear what a scam and deliberate lie man made climate change and the carbon tax is. But the alarmists, the Greens, the U.N. and others have made billions of dollars by deceiving the world with their lies. 

Carbon Dioxide itself is a harmless gas that we breathe in at 400 ppm and out at 1000 parts per million and is essential to all forms of plant growth.
Its ability to absorb or deflect heat is little different to many other gases.
It is now proven that carbon dioxide increases lag behind global temperature increases by 800 years.
In 2012 the Kyoto treaty is due for resigning but not one of the major countries will be signing it.  The U.K. stated clearly they can no longer afford to waste money on “renewable energy’ which is proving to be a total failure. The USA, Brazil, South Africa, China, India, France, Russia, and many other countries have turned their backs on the so called Man made climate change. All saying they can no longer afford to waste any more of their economies (some that are in recession, like the U.K.) on the renewable energy ideology.
Not only has it severely damaged their economies but has also left many, desperately short of electrical power. Ironically, they were being rescued by those countries that retained and expanded their thermal and nuclear energy programmes.
The only success out of all these programmes is the home solar panel installations, if  they are installed at the right price. They have absolutely no effect on national power demand being a teaspoon in a two hundred litre drum but have helped reduced many domestic power bills.
The power of the future; Both the USA and Australia have enough coal at present usage and sales to last for the next 380 years. That is not counting coal deposits yet to be located, so we will be using thermal coal and gas power for a long time yet.
The power of the future most likely will be the new LFTR fourth generation nuclear power plants.  The  Liquid Fluoride Thorium Reactors that are non radio active and will consume all their fuel with no by products and are able to consume the  by products from older radio active plutonium reactors.
Solar farms and Wind generators will never play a major role in power generation as their output is far to low and unreliable and is expensive to install and operate for the  power generated.
Also on a smaller capacity scale both tidal and wave action power generation holds promise for the future but would never have a major input. 
Australia belongs to all true Australians and as such anything above or below the ground belongs to us too. As such, any mining of coal, iron ore, gas, oil, timber, etc. should pay a royalty that is fair and reasonable to both sides. That way we all share the wealth.
But the Carbon Tax punishes and robs the wrong people to satisfy the greed of a government that will do anything to get money to satisfy their needs and their Green cohorts in crime.
It would be wonderful to have cheap power available to us all, but apart from home solar panels (after they have paid for themselves) it is not possible.

      THE TRUTH ABOUT POWER STATIONS.


Bob Brown’s and Julia Gillard’s endless tirade about thermal power stations being dirty and emitting black smoke from their chimneys, polluting the atmosphere and creating catastrophic Global Warming oops climate change now,has hit a new low.

When they tried to foister onto us the photos of Battersea Power Station in London, that has been closed for over thirty years and only a shell, as a polluting Australian power station they proved what deceitful and corrupt ‘individuals’ they and their Green cohorts are.
Even the smoke was supperimposed on the picture. If you look closely you will see it is cockeyed on some of the chimneys. Also it would never have emitted that much smoke.

These people, Gillard, Brown, Milne and the rest of the Labor and Green party are so desperate to push theIr carbon tax that they will resort to ANY measures to achieve what they want and are desperate to stay in power.

They follow the philosophy of the Nazi propagandist Goebbels who said;
If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”
-------------------------------
The most brilliant propagandist technique will yield no success unless one fundamental principle is borne in mind constantly - it must confine itself to a few points and repeat them.
---------------------------------
Do these seem familiar- they should do; they follow this philosophy to the letter, pushing the biggest scam the world has even seen.

Any businessman will tell you if they tried to sell their product on TV, with these sort of lies and deception the ACCC or Fair Trade Practices Commission would have them locked up and fined heavily for their deliberate distortion and lies. AND rightly so. Yet these liars are allowed to get away with it. WHY?

To put to rest the lies about the emissions from modern power stations, I have listed photos and information below of many major modern power stations in Queensland, N.S.W and Victoria.
  1. Note how little smoke or pollution is coming from the power station stacks.
The Power Stations are under full load or close to it. Bayswater has one unit shut down at the time.
The cooling towers are the large round cylinders with vapour rising from them.

The condensation rising from them is as pure as most drinking water with a conductivity of 350 to 450 micro mhos. Similar to tap water. Notice how the condensation finishes to nothing, NOT falling on the ground.

These are no different to normal clouds. Clouds-- that ‘other’ 97% of so called Green house gases.
Without them there would be NO rain and a virtually dead planet. i.e. no water— no life.
One person tried to say they were full of mercury and other poisons. This is the sort of rubbish they try to lie about. The same person, a member of a zero emissions website who are pushing wind generators, compared carbon dioxide with cancer cells !!!!! Another compared it to arsenic. You decide what you think of them.!!!

N.S.W. POWER STATIONS














Bayswater Power Station – 4 x 660 Megatts units.  One unit of line . Black bituminous coal.

VICTORIAN POWER STATIONS,


Hazelwood Power Station. 8 x 200MW units. Brown Coal. Condensate cooling ;Lake cooling.


This is how the greens altered the photo to make it look  Like massive pollution. They are corrupt to the core.


Loy Yang A Power Station 4 x 500MW units Brown coal. Condensate Cooling; Cooling towers



Same power station at full load. The photos have been ‘doctored’ to make it look bad. Compare the difference. This is what the Greens do to a photo to tell lies.


Loy Yang B Power Station 2 x500MW units Brown coal; Condensate cooling; Cooling Towers


Loy Yang A photos doctored by a Melbourne 'older' newspaper. Notice how the black smoke and
clouds appear from no where. The black ‘smoke’des not even reach the chimneys.
 A very poor effort.The white clouds are pure evaporation from the cooling towers.

There are other power stations but those above serve as a clear example of how clean modern stations really are.

The length the Greens will go to is nothing but deliberate lies and deceit. Altering photos to make them look bad. The word treason would suit them very well.

                                    TELLING FAIRYTALES.



What’s that old saying we used.--‘Telling Fairy Tales’. Another one----‘Out of the mouths of babes.’ And that’s what we got from Julia Gillard about Tony Abbott—‘Telling Fairy Tales’.

How about another one we know-----‘The pot calling the kettle black.’

If ever it applied to anyone it certainly applies to Gillard, Rudd, Garrett, Wong and their cohorts.

For years they have lied and deceived the Australian public, who were naive enough to believe all their endless lies. Trusting a government that was built on deception and ‘Fairy Tales’.

Where do you start?

Perhaps with the so called Global Warming lies or the new name ‘Climate Change,’ because they fell on their face over global warming; now it is completely disproven.

Even though they were well aware of the I.P.C.C.s deception and from the American and European experiences, that Global warming and Renewable energy was the biggest scam and failure this world has seen or ever will see, they continued to tell ‘Fairy tales’ about Thermal power generation and the capabilities of renewable energy sources. i.e. Wind generators and solar power generation farms.

Even with thirty one years of proven results that there is no such thing as manmade global warming or the fact of spending billions of dollars to building thousands of totally unreliable and very expensive wind generators and solar farms have achieved absolutely ZERO.

Not ONE nation has reduced its thermal generation output and in fact they have continued to increase at the normal growth rate.

After thirty one years not ONE of their ‘fairytale’ predictions has eventuated.

Yet knowing this the Rudd/ Gillard Government still tell ‘Fairy Tales’ about thermal power station emissions and the so called pollution from cooling towers which is pure condensation.

They have spent billions of dollars on home insulation programme, domestic solar power generation, solar hot water, wind generators and solar array farms and the whole intention was to reduce thermal power generation. Thus reduce the CO2 output from the chimneys.

The final achievement in carbon dioxide reduction after all of these is NOTHING.

Power generation demand continues to grow at 4% per year and over 85% of this is thermal power which is where the growth rate is. The percentage increase in renewable energy is miniscule in relation to the overall power generation figures.

Because of their desperate efforts to retain the green vote they continue to pander to their ridiculous demands. Wasting billions of dollars ‘chasing butterflies' and telling ‘fairy tales’ and worse still deliberately ‘telling porkies’ to the Australian people.

If anyone doubts that, have a look at the past few weeks when a member elected by the people of this country to the position of prime minister was ‘assassinated’ by a Gillard and here gang because his ratings had fallen.

They went into panic mode in a desperate bid to stay in power.

Not since Roman times when Caesar was assassinated on the steps of the Senate has there been such a devious and sadistic attack, without the slightest compunction or consideration for their former leader.

Yet all they are doing is ‘moving the deckchairs around on the Titanic’.

What were some of those fairytales Gillard recently told;

A. I’m more likely to go to Mars than to be Prime Minister.

B. I’m more likely to sail round the world than to be Prime Minister.

C. I’m more likely to play for the Carlton football club than to be Prime Minister.

D. I have no ambition for the leadership I’m happy where I am.

The best ‘Fairytale’ was the latest one from the mining super profit tax agreement that the government’s resource rent tax regime only reduced the revenue by $1.5 billion.

What she didn’t say was that commodity price forecasts were revised between the two taxes to make it look less. -----Another ‘Fairy Tale’.

At the end of the day’ ‘it is not a level playing field and the goal posts have been moved.’

This government has wasted billions of dollars on crazy schemes like the ‘clean coal’ technology where on one ‘clean coal’ experimental’ power station alone they spent fourteen hundred million dollars and it was an admitted failure.

Also they have spent five hundred million on a thirty megawatt power station out west that is supposed to pump the CO2 underground. It uses sixteen of the thirty megawatts to do it. i.e. 14 megawatt output. Which is ’beyond a joke.’

When is all this madness going to stop and they get back to some form of reality and spend it on our major infrastructures where is should be spent. Roads, water, dams, health, hospitals, etc.

The great farce of the home insulation program that achieved absolutely nothing, cost four lives and spent thousands of millions of dollars. Now they have to undo a major part of it.

Over that alone the government and Garrett should be ‘Hung out To Dry'

Even after all of this they are planning to build many useless wind generators costing billions of dollars throughout Australia even though they know it is a waste of time and your money.

All these decision were made with the input and approval of Ms Gillard and her associates. Now Ms Gillard; says ‘It wasn't me; I didn't do it.' It was Kevin Rudd. He made those decisions on his own.’

And they expect us to believe it. Another ‘Fairytale. They must think the Australian public are fools.

Fair suck of the sauce bottle’.

If it goes ‘pear-shaped, it is no good ‘throwing our toys out of the pram or our teddy in the corner.’ But that’s exactly what they did.

If they get back after the next election they will;

a. Reintroduce the ‘global warming’ scam.

b. Reintroduce the ridiculous carbon credit scheme.

c. Continue to build more useless wind generators and solar array farms.

d. Try again to force the E.T.S. ‘down our throats'.

If the Australian economy was compared to a house. That house would be vandalized, wrecked and garbage strewn everywhere.!!!

Yet when the Howard Government left it was in pristine condition.

If this government gets back into power the Australian public will not get another chance.

Next time will be too late and the great country we once knew will be gone forever.
Handed over to extreme greenies and extreme muslims who want to remove our democratic way of life and replace with the horrendous Sharia law.

This is the Australia we love. Without doubt the finest country in the world –That our parents and grandparents fought for.-Lets keep it that way.


Don’t let their efforts be in vain.
The Gillard/ Brown  Government begins the  destruction of our economy.
.
When Bob Brown the leader of the so called ‘green’ movement stood alongside Julia Gillard on the steps of Paliament House announcing to the media the introduction of the Carbon Credit Tax, it was amazing how he made her mouth move without putting his hand up her back and operating her it  like the usual dummy.
Previously I said that she had sold her soul to the devil when she got in bed with Bob Brown and his communist associates. Now that is proving to be very true. She is in his trap and cannot escape.
The proof is the fact that she lied when she said there would be no Carbon tax ( for something that is non existent i.e. manmade global warming.) and then without the slightest hesistation announced there will be a carbon tax whilst saying she never lied.  But she will buy off the people that voted for them by giving them a concession whilst destroying our industry and economy.
The statement it will only cause an increase of 5% is an absolute lie. Everything uses electricity and everyone of those products or services will increase substantially from the ‘flowon’ effect.
The Electricity power Generation Industry is an absolute essential part of our country and has been the main player in making Australia what it is today. Without it the country would be dead. Nothing . No water, no power, no computers, very little food. Industry and commerce would grind to a complete halt. And these idealistic fools want to close it down whilst trying to introduce so called renewable energy in the form of wind and solar power generation, which as a main power source has proven to be a repeatedly total failure all over the world. Yet these fools still insist on ‘going forward’ with their crazy schemes.
The suggestion that this carbon tax will create 31000 jobs is ludicrous, espescially when you consider the amount of people who will be made redundant because industry cannot afford them.
The insulation programme was a failure. The clean coal plant were a failure. The Underground CO2 storage was failure. The ridiculous light bulb fiasco was a failure. Solar panels on roofs are a failure as far as the main grid system is concerned. Everything this Government  touches  is a disaster.
It would be wonderful to have solar power on the roof, water tanks out the back.and be  independent.This is possible on an individual house basis but does nothing for the main power generation system.
The excess from these panels would equate, literally, to less than a small teaspoon in a 200 litre drum and are an irritation to those operating the power generation system.

Julia Gillard wants to introduce a carbon tax for one reason- to claw back the money her and her cronies have wasted on their crazy schemes. Bob Brown wants it because he knows it will destroy our economy.
It has nothing to do with carbon dioxide, an inert harmless gas, which consist only .38% or 380 parts per million in our armosphere. To do the impossible and reduce our emmissions by 20% would make a difference of .00000016%. Yet Gillard and her cronies, controlled by Brown, still try to use the excuse of a ‘carbon tax’.

Julia Gillard and the labor party got back into government by lies and deceit and should be made accountable by calling another election without the interference of the useless ‘independents’ who caused this problem in the first place. Ironically if they had to face re election they would be thrown out on their ears.
The only one with any sense of honesty was Bob Katter.
Julia Gillard should also be charged with fraud and deception and answer a court of law. They are NOT are majority elected government and should NOT be there to destroy this great country.
Be warned if Brown and Gillard continue down this path they will destroy our economy and our way of life.
It is now up to you, the reader, to stop them or pay a very heavy penalty in the future.

DEATH’S FOR CO2 REDUCTION.

One of the worse things we can read in the newspapers is of another car crash resulting in the death of some or all of the occupants.

Worse still, quite often they are young people, who lives have been snatched away in a split second because they made one minor but fatal error. The people of our future.

It is irrelevant whether they were right or wrong –they are still dead.

For the parents and relatives the terrible loss is a heartache and agony that is almost unbearable

that would endure for a long time.

The police, emergency services officers, reporters and journalists have to attend these crashes and I cannot understand how they are not scarred for life with the horror they often have to witness.

The police are continually frustrated trying their best to stop the carnage but can only do so much.

The state and federal governments response to this is NOT to improve the roads- just reduce the speed limit--- problem solved----ridiculous.

Cars, buses, caravans and trucks passing each other at differential speeds of over 200 K.M.H. with only as little as 25c.m. to 50c.m. between them is a scary scenario.

Single lane roads where we have to wait for long periods of time before a driver can even overtake a slower vehicle, creates frustration and impatience and cause drivers to take risks they should not take.

Yet we blindly continue to accept this even though all this carnage can be prevented by the simple use of common sense and logic.
The money that was totally wasted on the crazy, useless roofing insulation programme, the failed clean coal technology and CO2 underground projects, all failures, just to satisfy the insanity of the Greens demands, by the labour party, of $4,500,000,000 plus the removal and correcting the complete foul up of the insulation scheme, another $1,000,000,000.

All this money could have built a separated multi lane expressways from Cairns to Melbourne and have money left over to build dams and hospitals that function correctly.

Had those expressways been built over 85% of those deaths would not have occurred.

The police, emergency service and journalists would not be forced to face the horror of smashed bodies and havoc left behind.

Yet the Australian voters quickly forget the carnage that the greens have created and the unbelievable waste of so much money just to suit a crazy, now disproven idea, about global warming or climate change as they now prefer to call it.

They with their total insanity were also responsible for the death of 173 people, destruction of over 230 homes and the displacement of over 7000 people in the Victorian bushfires.

Australia and its people were looking after our climate long before the greens came along and will do so long after they have gone. The have done nothing to this country except to create massive wastes of money and devastation of homes and industry.

We desperately need to replace the goat track called the Bruce Highway and make it, and all major interconnecting city highways, into expressways. Build more dams and pipe the rivers before it is too late.

This cannot be done when this government is wasting so much money on crazy schemes.

They have on order a huge amount of wind generators to build massive wind farms. Yet throughout the world they have repeatedly proven to be a failure.

A large cost to maintain and operate with substantial failures all over the world.

California went bankrupt trying to use them and after 31 years they still only have 2.3% renewable energy. Yet thermal power continues to grow.

Spain has gone bankrupt, imports power, and has a 20% unemployment, thanks to their involvement with renewable energy.

Germany has also moved away from renewable energy and returned to thermal and nuclear power.

Denmark is yet to reduce one gram of CO2 output with endless windmill failures.

Yet this government, living in their little cocoon, still insist on wasting your money on useless, totally unreliable and inconsistent wind generators and solar farms.

If the greens get control of the Australian senate they will close down power stations, mines, many industries and try to achieve the absolute IMPOSSIBILITY of 100% renewable energy. Australia will suffer dire consequences with an economy and industry in tatters within three years.

Recession will be a picnic compared to the depression we will slide into.
