I must admit I have no idea how any of our governments expects any industry to operate in a few years time with all the "taxes" imposed on us. Manufacturing is already in an ordinary state as is farming with competition from overseas affecting both - so the governments answer is to further tax (through carbon trading) these industries until they dont exist. Granted that the details of carbon trading have not been released yet, however I cant believe this will be introduced in 2010.
