When I last checked we were on track to export well over 300M tons of coal. Bowen, if this stuff is such the devil that you are making it out to be, when are these exports going to stop?
We need a replacement for that export income. Why the hell can't we make steel from our ore, value adding, rather than just digging it up and shipping it out?
Politicians have short spans for enacting plans. Irrelevant really, as they can about-face when reality hits, and claim credit for the idea.

This is crazy, we are one of the biggest exporters of gas in the world , Australian's should have the cheapest power prices in the world , but the government mismanages our resources and gives them away to other countries and pushes Australians to expensive unreliable green power.
It was a normal summertime event and it is very close to the official summer. The coal fired power generators are old and unreliable because of government policy and renewables are not picking up the slack.
Please ask him this question next time he is on air! The government has called for the closure of coal fired power generation plants. Why would any business invest in maintenance, expensive maintenance when the government wants the plant shut down. Why spend money, the government wants base load closed before their green power is available!
Good point although it does stop them from putting fluoride in the water that you pay for. You know that waste chemical that has nasty effects on the human body.
Yes. It's not hard to be more reliable than solar which has an efficiency rating of something like 20% and wind at around 30%. So most of the time they are producing nothing, especially a typical summer night when the sea breeze completely dies away to nothing a couple hours after dark till about 9.00 am the next day.
