    I know coal is renewable but it DOES take quite a long time and, usually, several mass extinctions of mega-fauna.https://twitter.com/EwenJonesMP/status/716826113910018048 …

    Carmichael Mine is vital to develop the North. Will lead to energy & water security, investment in renewables, science, agriculture. #auspol

        @spacearcheology @BernardKeane so we could have sustainable coal if we have a population too small to run coal mining!

        @DanielOCnr @BernardKeane They could probably manage it if they only mined coal and worked in allied industries.

        @EwenJonesMP Nth QLD has greater economic potential/comparative advantage then just digging up coal. @FBC_Australia is happy to help.
