What would you do with $1.2 billion? Give it to big, greedy polluters or invest it in renewable energy?

Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd is considering giving this money to coal companies as compensation for emissions trading. Government leaders around the world are showing similar ambivalence in addressing climate change.
