Carbon Tax
Posted: Wed Feb 16, 2011 7:27 pm
I am sure everyone has had the same results, but I will tell you anyway.
I have written to both state and federal governments asking, when the carbon tax comes in how much rebate I will get as I am a carbon and oxygen farmer, (25 acres of scrub).
As to be expected there has been no response.
I worked out (erring on the side of caution) that I produce about 11 tons of co2 a year ( I over estimated everything by a lot) and my trees suck up about 9 tons of co2 (under estimating number of trees and how much they draw from the air and not including any other plant matter, grass, wattle, battlebrush etc).
The information I got from various internet sites and can only assume that they are pretty close?
So in theory, i should only pay for 2 tons and not 11 tons??
Has any one had any successes?
Regards
