Labour's plans would subsidise car production workers to move from making conventional models to electric vehicles, which hardly anyone wants to buy.

Wonderful strategy for an economic train wreck.....

.....Force automobiles to use electricity

.....Oppose new, higher efficient super-critical coal generating stations

.....Use CO2 cap and trade to begin shutting down the existing coal generating stations

.....De-fund Yuka Mountain and put the future of nuclear power in question

.....Propose we plaster the countryside with wind and solar installations and all the connecting wires

We are heading toward a SEVERE energy shortage because of these nutcases.

Wind and Solar WILL NOT CUT IT, and they know it.

Their answer is the stupid smartgrid. Forced brown and blackouts of people who don't play by their rules and use almost no power.

I am sure their other answer to the electric car problem is to live within 2 miles of work in an urban center.

The only thing green Zero has to offer is ...

Green as in ENVY

The community agitator is adept at pitting one American against another. He is adept as playing up the frustrations of regular folks against folks who have more. He is adept at playing to the desires of a group that want punish another person's success.

How many “green jobs” will be generated after all those
extremely inefficent solar panels are installed?

“Green Jobs; The New Subprime?”

Nah. Just the same old excuse for raising taxes by the left wing internationalist scu&bags.

a carbon tariff would be a "disaster", since it could lead to global trade war.

I knew they could come up with a rationale for Smoot-Hawley II.
