Turn out the lights, Perth. The green party's over.
At some point you have to start feeling sorry for the greens. No one wants their cars. No one wants their light bulbs. No one wants their taxes. And most of all, no one wants to be scammed by their government.
The Sydney Morning Herald tells the story:
In a move that could cost the Federal Government’s GreenPower scheme public support, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission has asked a state government agency and energy suppliers to stop telling customers that using GreenPower will ‘‘make a real difference’’ to the environment. Almost a million households now buy GreenPower, paying extra on their power bills to support renewable energy and shrink their carbon footprint.
But they will no longer be told it leads to ‘‘significant results for our environment’’.
Turns out the only thing that’s significant about green power is its cost.
