What on earth is Kevin Rudd doing?
He wants to save the environment AND reduce petrol prices - at the same time.

Motorists are a major green house gas contributor and people like their cars.
The only way to change their habits is to make it prohibitively expensive.
People are going to keep driving otherwise.

You cant save the environment when its convenient. It has to be all in or all out.
Either seriously save it or boost the economy by ditching all the money going towards environmentally friendly stuff.

Well on the 31st of March there was Earth Hour.
The general jist of it is at 8pm you turn all your lights off for a hour to save the planet.

In Sydney, the power reduction was 8.4% which is....crap.
C'mon people if your going to 'save' the environment you've got to do a tad better than that.

So now there are hundreds of thousands of people world wide with a nice fuzzy feeling inside because they are helping to save the environment.
Which would be really great if they weren't the only person in their SUV on their daily commute.
