That makes sense... and I do get that...
THEN, either:
1) Redirect the $$ to seed green technologies (problematic and discretionary... more wind farms anybody?) ..OR, preferably..
2) Cut taxes in another area to make it revenue neutral for the Government.
Anything else is a naked cash grab. And that is what is happening. Plain and Simple.
This is why I have a hard time taking the Governments word at face value for actions regarding "Climate Change".
