My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Resources and Energy, Senator Sherry. As a Union Bank of Switzerland report has stated that €210 billion has been wasted in the European carbon scheme and European electricity consumers have had to pay for this, and in the light of the South Australian Supreme Court recently upholding an appeal against the EPA's 2009 guidelines for wind development, can you advise how long the people of Australia are expected to fund these uneconomical wind turbines, which are supported by renewable energy credits?
