everything i have read is the proposed cuts will at the most slow warming but more importantly give the frame work to increase the rate of co2 cutting. the current proposal will se the victorian brown coal power stations continue with it becoming increasingly expensive to operate , with time better distribution , better demand management (smart meters etc ) as well as greener alternatives , wind, solar ,tidal , geothermal and gas will replace the reliance on brown coal . Currently there is in vic about 6000mw brown coal capacity with demand going from a minimum of 4500 to a normal 8000mw but on peak days going to 12000mw so coal is not really efficiently covering our needs as most effective at high unvaried loads. the ets will use cost to consumers of power to drive change over time at first on househlds but in time to industry as well.
