If Carbon Dioxide Emissions are supposedly causing catastrophic climate change/global warming, and the biggest culprits we are told are those power plants that supply the bulk of our electric power, then surely to stop that, Governments would be doing something drastic, like closing them down. Instead, the only thing they are doing is finding ways to make money from those emissions. How is a new tax supposed to lower those emissions? Understand how electrical power is used, look at the load curve for actual power consumption, and see how you are being charged extra for something you need absolutely. Also see how the introduction of Smart Meters will add an even further cost on top of this again, and how you will be slugged for something you have no control over. This are not measures to cut back on those emissions, just revenue raising from a captive target, you, the consumer.
