"Australia puts a price on carbon"
Jul 11, 2011, iTnews.com.au
"The Australian Federal Government has announced a carbon tax of $23
per tonne effective from July 1 next year.
Designed to slash the nation's carbon emissions by 159 million tonnes
a year, the tax will apply to Australia's top 500 polluters under
a two-phase fixed and flexible scheme."
"Australia's carbon tax was officially announced on Sunday by
Prime Minister Julia Gillard, Deputy Prime Minister Wayne Swan and
Minister for Climate Change and Energy Efficiency Greg Combet."
.....
"The long-term impact the tax will have on investments in Australian
data centre infrastructure is uncertain, however researchers from
analyst firm Gartner have claimed that the impending tax and
Australia's deep reliance on taxable energy sources had prevented
major cloud vendors from establishing Australian operations."

Why aren't cloud providers setting up shop in Australia?
"Australia's 'dirty' energy sources and carbon tax debate could be
deterring international cloud service providers from establishing
on-shore data centres, according to Gartner analysts."
.....
"Ninety-two percent of Australia's energy was sourced from fossil
fuels, Blosch found, reporting that this was "far from conducive
to the development of a long-term green IT services sector"."
.....
"Microsoft served Australian users of its Azure cloud platform from
data centres in Singapore and Hong Kong; Amazon from Singapore and
Japan; and Salesforce.com from Singapore and the US.
Blosch highlighted IBM's recent launch of a $61 million Auckland
data centre for white-labelled cloud computing service providers,
noting that New Zealand generated electricity from geothermal,
wind, tidal and hydro sources.
Marcus Blosch, Vice President, Gartner research

"Tech companies on carbon tax shortlist"
July 11th, 2011, ZDNet Australia
"We could tell you who the top 500 polluters are,
but then we'd have to kill you"
July 11, 2011, News.com.au
"THE Federal Government says about 500 companies will pay for the
right to pollute - but can't reveal who they are to the public.
Commercial privacy laws prevent the Government from naming companies
that will pay for their carbon emissions under the scheme."
