It is my pleasure to have the opportunity to respond to Senator Joyce's diatribe. The fact of the matter is that a market mechanism like the carbon price is the most economically efficient way of reducing carbon pollution. It creates incentives for large polluters to reduce their emissions and to invest in the clean energy sources of the future, like gas, wind and solar power.
