Government Policy
Some components of the government's emissions reductions strategy have been:
- the Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme (CPRS) (which was a proposal for an emissions trading scheme that would have established a market in greenhouse gas permits);
- the Renewable Energy Target;
- "investment in renewable energy technologies and in the demonstration of carbon capture and storage";
- "action on energy efficiency."

Famous quotes containing the words government and/or policy:
“But, to speak practically and as a citizen, unlike those who call themselves no-government men, I ask for, not at once no government, but at once a better government. Let every man make known what kind of government would command his respect, and that will be one step toward obtaining it.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Maybe it’s understandable what a history of failures America’s foreign policy has been. We are, after all, a country full of people who came to America to get away from foreigners. Any prolonged examination of the U.S. government reveals foreign policy to be America’s miniature schnauzer—a noisy but small and useless part of the national household.”
—P.J. (Patrick Jake)
