2 weeks to coal tech 2013

2 weeks until this conference which IMO should be very informative about the future of brown coal in Victoria. Have a good look at who's speaking and their topics because as I said I expect it to be very revealing. The iminent Gov news referred to here -

should be out around the same time by my calculations.
