@levie@mcannonbrookes Issue will be low cost mine operators coming in to exploit this vacancy, with even less regard for the enviro. Cutting demand will be more effective at ending coal mining.
@JohnBarilaroMP Shame you don’t respect the value of tourism, indigenous heritage, endangered species & historical significant areas in the Hunter. #nowollombimine
The Aus Energy Market Operator AEMO report shows that no more gas, no more coal capacity is needed for a stable, near zero carbon, electricity supply future. See the easy to read article. Well worth the read. Great writing @simonahac
@mcannonbrookes Shame we are even talking about new coal mines...#nowollombicoalmine, how quickly we forgot recent devastating bush fires tks to climate change impact.
@GladysB Gladys this is what yr Govt should be promoting vs new coal licenses in the lower Hunter, destroying pristine heritage wilderness. https://t.co/nTfP5Cn9GD
As we unite & recover we need to make sure we have a pipeline of projects creating local jobs across the state. That includes the $350M Rodds Bay Solar Farm which is set to become one of Australia’s largest renewable energy projects, creating more than 300 regional jobs. #qldjobs
