We have further commentary from the other side. It is not rubbish. If you engage with the major players in the energy sector they will tell you that is the case and they will tell you that is why they support the introduction of a carbon price into our economy. The interjections only serve to emphasise how out of touch those opposite are with mainstream business thinking in this matter. They are out of touch with developments that are going on internationally and their position in opposing a carbon price in this economy is economically irresponsible.
