        That’s because the world is still building hundreds of coal fired power stations every year. Simples!

        The countries which care for their national economies are ensuring reliable energy supplies, while our politicians blindly follow their ideology while destroying our economy. We desperately need to kick out the entire existing political establishment. @AdamBandt @billshortenmp

        These are the only people that want it, no big banks or businesses. Scientists should experiment holing themselves up for a year with coal burning. They'll be dead end of story

        Why does the article use 1994-95 as the base for comparison of growth? And what about other resources?

        Great export from current mines until the world realises it does want any more. Just we don't need any more mines.

        Imagine what it'll be worth in 200 years time when we've worked out how to use it without killing everyone!

        Killing everyone. Quit the rhetorical hyperbole.
