so how can coal help?

emissions is NOT the first priority

emissions is the lip service priority --------- but, believe me - if we get to eg. 2035 and we switch off the last coal stations and months later - we get lights out

with MASSIVE economic losses, domestic and social disruption on almost unprecedented scales -

no one will give a toss about emissions in a transition period.

Look around the world ------- people are building coal fired power stations - even though they have emissions as a priority ---------- why are they doing that?

because they know that a bigger priority is to keep the lights on - yes, go away from coal and go to solar and wind and storage - but, you have to keep the lights on whilst you do it

and if that means burning coal in the interim - then, so be it

Coal is possible in Australia - to fill gaps in that apx. 2035 to probably ?? 2045 period.

Nuclear is not. Gas, I don't think is possible. Diesel - on the scale needed - I think is not possible.

Tasmania went to diesel generators when it ran out of water back several years - it brought in a huge quantity of diesel generators -

but, Tassie compared to the rest of Australia - is a doddle to look after --

we shall see

if we're going to have a discussion on what is 'possible' and what is not 'possible' -

not 'acceptably possible' --------- practically possible - then, to me -

there is probably only one thing ----------- coal

Expand

"emissions is NOT the first priority". ... then why is every nation working to increase low or no emissions energy instead of building more coal plants?

whats the point if not to reduce GHG emissions?

your opinion on GHG emissions makes absolutely zero sense.
