Taylor stares down objections to carbon capture schemes

Australia Institute climate program director Richie Merzian said $1.3 billion had been "wasted" on carbon capture and storage and it was "preposterous" to use taxpayer funds to support them.

"We have agreed in principle with technology neutrality but there’s work to be done on how you would do that in practice, and we’re working through that now and we’ll be working through that in the coming months," Mr Taylor said."It just means we’ve got to work out how best to get technology neutrality to happen across ARENA and the CEFC."

The Morrison government committed another $2 billion in the budget last April for more projects over the next 15 years. “We’re interested in the outcomes. If a technology can reduce emissions, and we know it can do so at low cost without destroying jobs and industries, it should be given serious consideration,” he said.

CroweDM Make it a very fast track. But MORE IMPORTANTLY - WHEN ARE OUR HOUSE POWER BILLS COMING DOWN. it must be this year as I promised. HURRY UP

CroweDM I think this decision will help Labour at the next election. Shame on you Angus Taylor!!!

Wendy_Bacon CroweDM How did this damn creep get into a position of such power in this country? There must be powerful forces behind this dolt.

CroweDM How has this man not been sacked. He should be in jail not spending our money

CroweDM The minister for increasing emissions. What a disgrace.

CroweDM Or more correctly the CMO in each state......your Govt is weak

CroweDM Better ask the state premiers first because they are really calling the shots not you guys

CroweDM Disgusting misappropriation of taxpayers funds for his fossil fool mates. This criminal must be stopped.

CroweDM Fossil fuel donor: How much do you reckon you could just give us if we pretend to be working on carbon capture and storage? We’ll donate a good % back Angus Taylor: I reckon I could swing around $2 billion. Is that enough?

CroweDM This one sub standard brain in this substandard brainbox is holding this entire country to ransom. Knock him down someone FFS we haven't got anymore time for this bullshit.

CroweDM Fast tracked directly to the Caymans?

CroweDM Not about carbon capture or storage problems, it about having $2 billion so they get a chance to skim a little for themselves and divert the rest to their corporate sponsors. I cant believe how cynical i have become

CroweDM Taylor senses offshore income stream for hot air storage

CroweDM Yes fast track the money to Australian families living in cars .. instead of other countries getting millions of hard earned Aussie dollars to squander .. you should stand down $$$$$ . It’s the greatest SCAM thrown on the western world ,who they hate ☹️

CroweDM KingdomOfMendacity Ghouls want to bury plant food underground. And lest trusting people twig, they rename it carbon so it is associated with soot in the minds of those they're scamming. CelebrateCO2 photios-pig-and-his-litter's fingerprints all over this. LiberalVictoria

CroweDM Our kleptocracy is alive and kicking. auspol

CroweDM Tony Abbott Australia's worst ever PM is responsible for all the negativity in the LNP towards climate change. It's a miracle the World Trade Organization hasn't taken action against Australia . As the voting Australian public will always vote for who pays them the most.

CroweDM What a fuckwit.

CroweDM Is there a bigger criminal in Australian politics than Teflon Taylor?

CroweDM AngusTaylorMP must have a carbon capture business. A bigger crook never walked the corridors of power. Ever. Still at least AusFedPolice will be all over him...

CroweDM Angus Taylor is an odious, corrupt, lying little man - he shouldn't be making decisions about anything, at all.

MariaMatthews5 CroweDM This will be a nice little earner for him. Everyone knows that carbon capture does not work and is only a way of robbing tax payers. You have to hand it to him, he is our cleverest ever criminal. Steals $80 mil and doesn’t get questioned by the cops.😎

CroweDM Fast track our taxes into his tax havens

CroweDM what kind of outcome...like the federal police non inquiry into doctored documents outcome... Angus Taylor Arsehat...

CroweDM The question is: Would you buy a used car from this bloke?

CroweDM Fantastic. Great work. Well done Angus.

CroweDM Is this money to be kept in a bank account in The Cayman Islands? AuspolSoCorrupt

CroweDM Post pandemic outcomes: Same crap policies, same party, different day.

CroweDM Plant more trees, everyone knows this is the way to go, I learned about carbon capture in primary school (let's see, that would be 60 years ago). If an old girl like me knows this is a money making stunt, everyone else probably knows. Trust this man, lord no.

CroweDM I’ll do it for 1 billion. It’s called planting trees.

mary_tambling63 CroweDM Teflon Taylor, straight as a horseshoe

ellisoconnor CroweDM every story about this guy should have links to all the outstanding (unresolved) scandals/alleged corruption associated with him. all of that is part of this and needs to be taken into consideration when looking at anything he does or says.

CroweDM Cayman Island top up on the way?

plalor CroweDM Exclusive: Angus Taylor will fast-track changes to a $2 billion climate fund as he rejects furious criticism of a new plan to spend its cash on Oxford mate and cayman island projects.

CroweDM So corrupt

CroweDM 2 billion is peanuts anyway compared to the 100s of billions the LNP have shelled out in corporate and personal tax cuts over recent years. Pointless. What is the LNP actually for?

CroweDM

CroweDM How has Angus Taylor not been arrested yet?

CroweDM 2020 $2B for Carbon “C02” Capture & Storage At the same time Green house growers buy machines to make Carbon “C02” for plant growth

CroweDM AngusTaylorMP hasn't earned the right to fast track anything. Scrutiny is required.

geoffrey_payne CroweDM Carbon capture isn’t cost effective

CroweDM Surely the cheapest use of energy to capture carbon is to just not burn coal. Its already captured.

CroweDM Don’t let Taylor near the chequebook. The bloke is more corrupt than a 1980s QLD copper.

CroweDM Lemme guess..... maaaates.

CroweDM Idiot waste money impractical unproven strategy When investment in renewable energy is on of the answers

CroweDM Has the government finally put a stop to the ADANI coal mine yet ? If not then they are just blowing smoke up everyones collective a$$.

CroweDM Of course he will. Doing the job the oligarchs' expect of political operatives during parliamentary stints, sandwiched between pre and post parliamentary career offerings.

CroweDM ‘stares down’? More like ‘what’s going on, what are they talking about?’. Whatever’s going on behind the eyes, he sticks to the required script, not caring at all about how preposterous what he’s saying sounds.

CroweDM We can now add pollutiongate to clovergate grassgste watergate CCS is a joke

CroweDM Huh?

NewtonMark CroweDM Billions have been spent on CSS research in the US, not a viable tech, extends life & increases cost of already economically & environmentally redundant fossil fuels. The only country serious about CSS is China, they've planted more than 66 billion trees.

CroweDM Why does this guy still have his grubby hands on taxpayer’s money? Why does he still have a position?

CroweDM Fossil fuels win again.

CroweDM Maybe if there was a price on carbon there’d be a business case for this investment. Without it, this is a black hole for public spending.

CroweDM That this man remains in a ministerial position is a disgrace on our democracy and a very telling statement on the state of our political and media classes.

CroweDM Vandal

CroweDM What a waste of hard earned tax payer money

CroweDM Pinocchio 🤥 is at it again.

CroweDM No doubt there has to be an earner in it for this reprobate he's got lots of form.

Political interference a key risk to emissions reductions, experts sayFunding for carbon capture projects could lead to greater emissions reductions, but experts warn political interference could harm renewable energy. CCS has been nothing more than a sink hole sucking in billions without delivering a single operating commercial scale plant. But the fossil fuel companies love it as they get compliant governments to pay for it while they continue to screw us. Renewable energy is a fraud Leadership vacuum and a politically motivated campaign of climate denial deception. Surely Australians having woken up to climate denial by now?

Government to expand $2 billion Climate Solutions Fund | Sky News AustraliaEnergy Minister Angus Taylor says Australia has been able to 'achieve its emissions reduction targets at $12 a tonne' as the government looks to expand its $2 billion Climate Solutions Fund.\n\nThe fund was expanded to finance emissions reduction across a range of high-carbon sectors, including manufacturing, transport and agriculture.\n\nAn extensive review found the $2 billion fund was not providing the best incentives for carbon abatement projects.\n\n'Australia as a country has succeeded in these fantastic sectors like mining and agriculture because we've been prepared to deploy technologies that can help these industries prosper,' Mr Taylor said.\n\n'The focus historically has been very much on land use. What this report is proposing and what we're accepting is it needs to get beyond that and focus on industry.'\n\nThe government accepted 21 out of 26 recommendations from the review, including enabling subsidies for carbon capture and storage.\n\n'This is a great opportunity for us to really support those sectors coming out of COVID-19 - that have been strong sectors through COVID-19 - but we see enormous potential for them coming out,' he said.\n\nImage: Getty AngusTaylorMP Climate change is a HOAX! climatehoax Agenda21 AngusTaylorMP Why are we wasting money on a Chinese hoax? Australia for Australians. AngusTaylorMP 'Climate solution fund'......is an admission that science is an alien language.
