UK government plans tax on fresh air to ‘help improve environment’



Whilst this article was published on April 1st this article represents the reality of the situation.

The air we breathe is set to be taxed as part of a revolutionary ­Government plan to raise more money.

Rural folk will have to cough up the most under the new charge – already dubbed a gasp bill – while those living in our polluted cities will be expected to pay less.

The Air Tariff Control system will assess charges in different areas of the country and every household will be liable for payments, which will be administered by local authorities and added to council tax bills.

The project, to be run by a private firm under a five-year licence, is designed to fund air quality improvement initiatives.

One senior air technician at the Environment Agency said: “Air is natural but, just like water, it is a finite resource that we have to manage sensibly. Water quality and supply improved with privatisation and there is no reason why this should not have the same impact on air. The aim is to allow everyone to enjoy high-quality breathing air.”

The scheme, which the Government believes will help reduce levels of asthma and bronchitis, will see each region of the country allocated an Air Band to determine how much each household will pay.

The Lake District is likely, according to
the documents, to be in the highest bracket while residents of cities such as London, Manchester and Birmingham are earmarked for rebates because of traffic fumes.

Special plants will later be built to capture clean air and regulate its flow around the country, monitored by tracking devices being developed at Ayr University.

But critics believe the Coalition plan will see the end of free air for all in the UK, with private companies cashing in.

One Labour backbencher said last night: “This has literally taken my breath away.”

Last labour government tried to introduce that here , caused all manner of protest , it was called the fart tax , I kid you not

take that you green aceholes...

Hey bro glad you still kicking


Friday night tomozz lets get waisted

In Queensland electricity prices reached zero mid day last week due to the amount of solar power been fed back into the grid the wholesale cost reached zero.

There are a few people with vested interest rubbing there hands with glee with the killing off of the carbon tax, however there are others like those holding vested interests in renewable energy, solar, wind, wave and thermal that are the not happy-chappies.
I think the carbon tax was silly, a stupid move, selling off the power grid in the first place was stupid to, but when they sold off the utilities everyone was promised lower prices because goods and services pricing reduced according to supply and demand.
Which was a blatant lie as soon as the liberal parties rich flunkies stopped making heaps the goal posts have again been moved

Those sale to grid systems are only half built as the power that a person produces should be stored rather than sold and bought back . Sell the extra . Bit harder to sort that out though .

yeah i watched a renewable energy program on TV other day, one set up yanks have going online has miles and miles of mirrors directed to heap of salt atop a tower, some how the salt turned to sodium and works as massive batter big enough to light up Navada
