Good Policy Smart Energy Use

Renewables and Efficiency

Costs Total Electricity Costs (A$/MWh)‏ Coal 35 (70)‏ Natural Gas 40 Hydro 60 Biomass 60 Nuclear 110+ (Not full life cycle costs)‏ Wind Photovoltaic 150 Geothermal HDR Geo40-60 (not proven)‏

Good Policy Carbon Price

Taxes, Trading and Offsets

Carbon taxes / trading and native forests First cut of E.regnans old growth release on average 400 t/C per ha return to state $6-7K per ha. With a carbon tax costs would increase by: $10 a ton = $4K per ha $25 a ton = $10K per ha $50 a ton = $20K per ha

Good Policy Impetus for Change
