Green energy
|
From today businesses emitting large amounts of greenhouse gas are required to measure their emission - a first move in preparation for Australia's emission trading scheme. Going green comes at a cost not only for businesses but also for households. If you want to live completely on green energy it costs you additional 400 dollar a year. And if you can buy 100% green energy - why bother with those solar panels on the roof?
