In May 2004 the Prime Minister called a meeting of LETAG,
the Lower Emissions Technology Advisory Group, which consists of the CEOs of the major fossil fuel companies, including Rio Tinto, Edison Mission Energy, BHP Billiton, Alcoa and Orica, the companies behind the lobby groups that make up the greenhouse mafia.
He has chaired
the Low Emissions Technology Advisory Group of big polluting companies − which might more accurately be called the Big Polluters Protection Club − whose purpose has been to tell the Government what it should do to head off public concern about greenhouse pollution.
The participants and speakers answered crucial questions about the role of coal and
low emission technologies, such as high efficiency low emission (HELE) coal technologies and Carbon Capture Use and Storage (CCUS), alongside issues around financing, policy frameworks and meeting global energy needs.
Instead, we should focus on fast - tracking the use of
all low emission technologies, including high efficiency low emission coal and CCS.
In order to achieve emissions reductions consistent with international climate objectives, we need to balance these issues, recognising the importance of low - cost energy and the need to widen the deployment of
all low emission technologies.
Real solutions to climate change will only come through technological change and action on
all low emission technologies, and it's vital that this includes CCUS.
We need all energy sources to meet global energy needs, and we need all
low emissions technologies to reduce emissions.
