Shows the new powerhouse at Leigh Creek and the methods of obtaining coal from the open cut.
great footage!
1:25 With a seam of coal forty foot thick and half a mile long you will hit resource depletion in no time. Consider how much a block of coal the size of a speedboat is worth and how long does it take to burn at a conventional 1920s - 1950s era Australian power station.
Sad to say, all abandoned now with years of coal left. Save the world, burn a greenie.🇦🇺
