Good. Thanks for calling me out.

I don't know if that's very useful? Say the desal doesn't get build; but it was the least carbon intensive way of supplying water. Recycling water is the only other alternative to increase supply and uses about the same amount of energy.

This is why a price on carbon is better than central decision making. Rather than the Government picking and choosing projects (which I think is a very bad idea, they do not have the capacity to make decisions and avoid risk like the plague) just price it and let the market decide.
