So if the climate scientists are right and we do move to a renewable clean energy future which helps... great!!! If the climate scientists are wrong and we still move to a renewable clean energy future, what have we lost? We'd have created many new jobs and a new market for investment! I have no idea who is right or wrong... I er on the side of science in this case knowing that it's a win win situation regardless! Coal might be cheaper in the short term, but it doesn't matter if private entities own and charge us an arm and leg fit it!
