It's all correct in theory. Yet we're approving new coal mines and expansions to existing ones. It doesn't make sense, but it happens.

As long as a politician brings a lump of coal to the Parliament with a straight face to argue we should not be afraid of it, it definitely will be a concern. The decisions being made are just not rational.

Don’t let stupid get in the way of progress. Keep pushing forward regardless of decisions that are going to leave trillions of dollars in assets stranded (oil and gas extraction and generation).

Lots of wind and solar potential left to capture.
