Al Gore crying on his carbon credits ?

The government said its energy tax was being postponed indefinitely in order
not to "damage the competitiveness of French companies", fearing that it
would be too risky for France to go it alone without the rest of the EU.
Brussels has announced plans for an EU-wide tax, but the initiative already
looks doomed.

Medef, France's business lobby, said the demise of the carbon levy was a
"relief". The tax would have been ?17 a tonne compared to around ?100 in
Sweden, but business feared that this would creep up over time.
