Carbon "credit cards!"

Environment Secretary, David Miliband has announced he is looking into the possibility of introducing carbon “credit cards”.

I can see so many holes in this idea, there’s just too many to list.

Each person would be given an annual allowance which things like travel, energy and food would count against. Therefore each item, bill and travel ticket would need labelling with its carbon credit level. This alone is a massive task.

Then there’s the actual system for implementing it. Will it tie in with the current chip and pin system or will need hardware need to be installed at checkouts.

Never mind the fact that people will have to remember to take their cards with them wherever they go.

Just as well a feasibility study has said many questions need to be answered. I wonder how much the study cost? I could of told them that for a competitive fee.
