Long term of course. But you still need power in the mean time, as well as money and jobs.

You’re also assuming those who are good at mining coal could somehow instead be good at both protecting the planet AND making as much money. That’s seldom the case.

How many people are employed by the mining of thermal coal in Australia. You’re taking like it’s greater than 10%. I can assure you it’s not as many as you would imagine.

That assumption is not necessary to make it a huge net negative.
