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:
“The tide which, after our former relaxed government, took a violent course towards the opposite extreme, and seemed ready to hang every thing round with the tassils and baubles of monarchy, is now getting back as we hope to a just mean, a government of laws addressed to the reason of the people, and not to their weaknesses.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
“The Oregon [matter] and the annexation of Texas are now all- important to the security and future peace and prosperity of our union, and I hope there are a sufficient number of pure American democrats to carry into effect the annexation of Texas and [extension of] our laws over Oregon. No temporizing policy or all is lost.”
—Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)
