lol he's really got no idea

Don't be so sure about it. The market is dying, simple as that. Slowly maybe, but it's going down.

Just read up on Vattenfall to see how much of a catastrophic fuck up an energy company can make when it pours too much money into resources that are no longer wanted by huge proportions of people, businesses and governments. They lost USD4.6 Billion last year alone, and have further depreciated by another USD2 Billion since.

Should add that the Vattenfall is a completely government owned enterprise, not some privately owned fuck up.

coal won't go away for years and years to come.......the only energy source that goes close to it for power 24/7 and on demand is nuclear......

Also Coal/Gas won't die. APLNG just spent billions. They WILL get a return on their investment.

Put it this way, what else is Newcastle going to do? Start up wind farms and solar complexes? Turn gas fitters and diesel mechanics into sustainable builders?

Yeh no....

Please inform us all of what we are talking about....chief.

:lol: come back when you know what you're talking about chief :)

Your canary died a while back, pal.

There are some dense people in this thread.

Soft transitions....... someone needs to go outside for air.....

Yet wankers like Palmer, Tinkler and Gina the fat fuck are billionaires. I don't think you'll get sympathy from the working class. Hoping that Newcastle finds and alternative and quick otherwise it could turn out like Geelong.

Penny whores have families to feed too.

Taking the moral high ground after calling someone a penny whore.

Vintage notor.

Why does it always go back to homosexuality with you?

Done pv4.

For someone as "uninteresting" as me you seem to stalk my posts a fair bit.

I'm flattered but unfortunately not inclined that way if you catch my drift.

Thanks though.

Is this why you're a glorified penny whore?

Talk is cheap when you don't have a family to feed.

Have a moral objection to subsidies of this sort. nothanks#

Should be pressuring the Gumnut to go for renewables instead.

Coal can foad.

My submission wouldn't be helpful. It would be about enabling coal workers to cross skill into renewables for a soft transition when coal inevitably goes the way of the horse and carriage.

Nah, not happening. Feel for the blokes and their families if they hit hard times, but coal has had its day.

Who claims it is a robust industry?

Thanks in advance for your submission pal, means alot.

If coal mining is such a robust industry, why does it need my submissions?

If you have 2 minutes and want to help out Newcastle Coal Mining as well as helping a tonne of guys in my local area keep their jobs, please go to the below link and make a submission in SUPPORT of the project.

Cheers
