nevermind, found the link in history

they ignore the fact that mass migration from the third world increases our carbon footprint, again something that could be exploited

No.

yes, it does

Make the competitive economic argument for privatizing utilities and deregulating the energy sector.

how about no

that wouldn't win

It would.

no it wouldn't

not only would you fail to win them over you'd probably end up boring them too

If you take the time to explain why it would increase private demand for innovation, due to competition for market-share, you would.

You'd be surprised.

privatisation has been a complete sham in australia

no, i really wouldn't @Jeremy

the main reason the Greens have surged isn't because of gay economic reasons it's because of genuine environmental fears

and of course any party should be environmentalist to some degree, but you've just got no chance arguing on the side of the climate lunatics

that the Greens offer bad solutions too, the problem is they're the only ones actually offering solutions

Okay, but you're not going to save your country by not trying to save your country.

Anyone with half a brain knows it begins with competition in the energy sector, addressing the issue of climate.

that policy would save our country, and anyway the economic argument only appeals to a few pseudo-intellectuals who make up maybe 5% of the population

What's the point of trying, if in the end the policy implemented only ends up sabotaging your economy anyway?

it's not even that good of an argument anyway

Jeremy I'd say there's no point in even looking at the energy sector in relation to this argument - the activists only understand bans

you can prevent climate change by switching from coal to nuclear for one, or you could just deport the 5 million non-Australians living here and drastically reduce our carbon footprint

If they only understand bans, then they'll only understand the end of a barrel.

Sad to say it, but you'll have to just kill off your leftists.

@Ethreen42 our "footprint" is scientifically insignificant

This is probably the case for the US as well.

@Greasy try telling that to the public

exactly, it's impossible.

Lol.

and anyway, Nuclear is better then coal, it's a win win

unless you wanna start using renewables lmao

That's exactly what would happen through privatization.

Firms would begin constructing nuclear power-plants in competition for market-share.

the chief scientist literally said our efforts were futile, then in the very next breath said that we must continue our efforts

You see, when you're competing for market-share, lowering your production cost is necessary to expand your consumer base.

Thus, you must invest in ways to cut down costs, which makes your price more competitive.

@Jeremy are you aware of Telstra?

and NBNco
