Apart from not needing nuclear , Coal is subsidised and it is very smart energy companies that are divesting in coal such as French company Energia because the 200 year old technology is polluting our atmosphere but also it simply cant compete with renewables. Why fight it? What have you got to gain? We should stop exporting thermal coal. Soon burning it will be illegal anyway. It causes global warming. Most of our great barrier reef is dead or dying because sea temperatures have risen, this is a fact and backed up by hard evidence, you can't refute it and anyone who does may as well deny the holocaust and the moon landing while they're at it? Total losers. By the way, 82% of energy subsidies is concentrated in the Australian Government's nonsense Clean Coal with the remaining 18% of funds allocated to the renewable energy 'Project Solar Systems Australia' $75 million. So coal is heavily subsidised but still cant survive, thank God. Go and burn a small piece of coal. The smell is putrid.

Like it not, Coal and gas are still the main sources of electricity generation in Australia. Solar panels and wind turbines produce very little electricity.

Fight coal all you like, it will not change anything.
AS a child in the sixties we burnt briquettes and cannot remember a bad smell, but it produced lots of heat and kept us warm in the very cold winters.
