[QUOTE="Dave645, post: 7612074, member: 55822"] I do not see how, unless they find a way to cut carbon transport like shipping etc, where a carbon foot print includes transport of goods, the same will be said for new Zealand lamb, when carbon foot print of its transport is added it will have to become even cheaper to compete with home grown produce, at some point, that even cheaper is impossible. carbon taxes are designed to add the true cost to items, which is why it’s in the UK’s advantage to get ahead of the game. I can tell you now all the different carbon stuff is designed to put imports at a disadvantage, just because of the likes of China, but it’s hard to demand it from others when your no better, or you would suffer under the new rules and taxes. carbon Foot print is going to be a key way to price out imports from domestic markets and penalise countries not taking steps to hit net zero.
