An international report has found there’s no future for Australia’s coal exports.
Barnaby Joyce says he would be ‘100%’ behind the government constructing coal-fired power stations if that would lower the price of electricity.
What do you do with a giant pit mine once it closes? One option for the Hazelwood mine is creating a recreational lake – but there are economic and environmental issues to consider.
