Well Bazza, you told everyone who would listen during the NSW election campaign that you'll fight putting a price on carbon and so many wanted K-K-Keneally & Labor gone that they deliberately ignored your blind ignorance. But it's time to get serious - so what are you going to do about the fact that New South Wales continues to live above its income when it comes to energy consumption? Last week the state continued to tread water at 22% above the only credible baseline when it comes to greenhouse gas emissions from coal-fired power generation, gas and petroleum. You reckon you’re not a climate change denier – prove it! Remember if all you do as Premier is flannel former Labor voters they will walk straight back to the ALP in four years time, because they firmly believe in climate change and most are still right behind carbon pricing. So the party may turn into a fizzer. Oh, and Bazza - don't think that here on the NSW North Coast we haven't noticed that your Contract With NSW is so-o-o metrocentric.
The Climate Group NSW report card for 18th to 24th March:
- Total emissions grew by 0.2% or about 4,000 tonnes.
- Emissions from coal-fired generation, which accounted for 91% of electricity generation, grew by 0.4% or about 5,000.
- Emissions from gas grew by 2.6% or about 4,000 tonnes.
- Emissions from petroleum fell by 0.6% or about 4,000 tonnes.
- Electricity demand fell by 1.7%.
- NSW imported 5.9% of its electricity demand from other states, compared to 7.3% the previous week.
Last year:
- This week’s indicator is 1.7% higher than the same week in 2010
- Total emissions to this stage of 2011 were 0.7% lower than the similar stage last year
Baselines:
- 1990: 22% above
- 2000: 4.3% above
