Aussie tax payer to pay for CCS?

According to the the Age the Australian Federal Climate Change Minister is proposing that the tax payer support the cost of carbon capture and storage (probably just the demonstration) as the technology is so much in the public interest.

This is exactly what is needed over here - if we want things to happen.

Now of course this doesn't guarentee it, but this is certainly a step in the right dirrection.
