in Britain and the US, but rationing an individual's carbon use was
one of the most interesting ideas, Mr Carr told a business
conference in Sydney yesterday.</p> <P>Speaking as chairman of an advisory council for think tank the
Climate Institute, Mr Carr said the British Labour Government and
the Conservative Party Opposition were taking the idea seriously.
"Here is the most exciting concept. That is, the idea that every
citizen be given a carbon credit," he told the Association of
Chartered Certified Accountants.</p> <P>"Every time you buy fuel at the garage or pay a gas or
electricity bill or get on a plane, carbon will be deducted from
your account.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/4270109E-03C1-4109-8E46-7D917B819D8A/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
