Coal - ScoMo is still a campaigner

[SaltPeter]

Seems to be an extremely divisive commodity globally atm .. which clearly in my mind is fair enough.

I feel that at some level though that people treat coal as a commodity that is mined, shipped and burned and is essentially the same product wherever it’s comes from.

This is a complete fallacy.

The Latrobe Valley for example was famous for its dirty brown coal and the filthy air pollution it produced. Clearly a no brainer the power station and its fuel supplier was shut down last year. Irrespective of the fact it left Victoria at times short of power and reliant on South Australia to help with their short fall (btw, you’re welcome).

On the other hand, Australia also has massive resources of the best and cleanest burning coal for both power and coking (steel production). About 240 years on current known resources and production.

Perhaps globally there needs to be, in the short term, a grading system on coal at its use rather that just trying to shut down industries in 1st world countries.

Seriously, does anyone actually think that the worlds biggest polluters like China and India are going to shut down their power stations and their industry because Australia sucombs to pressure to stop mining? That’s insane. These cnuts will just move to cheap dirty brown coal.

ScoMo is still a cnut

China’s power industry calls for hundreds of new coal power plants by 2030

A new proposal from China's power producers' lobby group could see the country could add a large coal power plant every 2 weeks for the next 12 years.

If only you campaigners stopped watching the propaganda of the abc and got with the happenings of the real world

Thanks for your contribution. I cannot help but think that the article for which you have provided a link confirmed what was posted in the OP.

The price of metallurgical coal (coking) is much much higher than thermal.

Its emissions are also far lower.

Its use in creating wind/solar infrastructure will be a boon to us.
