Generators warn decoupling carbon emissions cuts could spark investment uncertainty

The Australian Energy Council says dropping Paris emissions reduction targets from the agenda will lead to a continuation of investment uncertainty. Energy Minister Angus Taylor outlined details of the government's new policy yesterday, with big users saying they'll now have to factor 'carbon risk' into decision-making.
