    Correct. I neglected to mention how it also applies to farmers. In addition, wouldn't the FBT listed in the article as a "fossil fuel subsidy" still apply for electric cars?

    Now, moving away from detailed figures & looking at the bigger picture, both sides of the debate seem to use 2040/2050 as a target for the end of coal fired power. I'm fine with that & applaud the efforts going into renewables but realistically, there will be blind alleys, so I just want our tax dollars wisely used (eg the $10B CEFC).

    I get ticked off when ideologues misuse statistics to float their boat.
