Canberra, with its “zero emissions” target, yearns to be Australia’s greenest address.
Good. Let’s use them as a full-blown test of “zero emissions” before we all jump over that cliff.
Canberra (the center of Australia Capital Territory, the equivalent of the District of Columbia) passes thousands of laws for us. If their zero emissions dream is fair dinkum, they need to pass just three laws for themselves.
First, ban all petrol, diesel and gas-powered trucks, cars, boats, generators, and aeroplanes from Canberra. That should remove emissions from their atmosphere, food from their supermarkets, and leave their roads free for pedestrians and bicycles. Idle airport runways would be ideal sites for solar panels and wind turbines.
Second, prohibit the importation of electricity generated by coal or gas – they can demonstrate how to survive on wind, solar, hydro, batteries, and firewood. They should work at home by candlelight on cloudy windless days.
Third, introduce a CCT (Canberra-carbon-tax) whereby all carbon dioxide emitted elsewhere in the production and transport of imported cement, steel, aluminium, bitumen, timber, vehicles, bicycles, solar panels, wind turbines, firewood, and food is charged to ACT end users.
If people flock into emissions-free Canberra, we will know that this is the way for Australia. But if there is a mass exodus, it will signal that the policy is a failure.
Let’s test the convictions of Canberrans.

We should try that in the District of Columbia as well. Say in July/August of next year?
No airplanes. No emergency vehicles. No backup generators. Freeze your a$$es off in the dark, idiots!
PEACE!

LEAD BY EXAMPLE, show us How.
Hmmm. Riding one’s bike still produces carbon. Not to mention the carbon used in the maufacture of......and on and on and on.......
No firewood or candles! Emits that evil CO2.
Also NO breathing!
Oddly enough, the true believers/ecowankers never want to do the “right” thing to help save muvver erf.
Guess they need to swap those out for solar powered drones. ;-)
