		<description><![CDATA[Australia's decision to delay the introduction of its carbon market by one year to mid-2011 is receiving flak and praise in the carbon news, as is the general structure of the proposal. Business is unhappy with the original plan because they say it will impose additional costs and lead to job losses and increased prices for consumers; environmentalists are unhappy because they believe the cuts do not go deep enough. In this issue of the Climate Column, we discuss Australia's carbon markets plan in light of recent accusations that <a href="http://communities.thomsonreuters.com/Carbon/292172?utm_source=20090505&#38;utm_medium=email">Europe's carbon trading market is open to trader speculation</a> driving the price of carbon, which has a real influence on consumer energy prices.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=equalc.wordpress.com&amp;blog=5671153&amp;post=566&amp;subd=equalc&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In this issue of the Climate Column, we find out why Saudi Arabia's oil minister seems to be confused as to what he thinks about solar power, and investigate whether the world can replace dirty Saudi Arabian oil with clean solar power as the world's primary energy source. One thing is for certain, in the future we will be seeing more and more progressive companies investing in major solar power projects and the future is certainly looking bright for solar.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=equalc.wordpress.com&amp;blog=5671153&amp;post=554&amp;subd=equalc&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
