I note that the Indian Conservation Action Trust has calculated that pollution from coal kills between 80,000 and 115,000 people in India every year, that 300 million poor Indians could not afford Australian coal and that many are not connected to the grid, anyway, and what is needed is distributed renewable energy. When will the government accept that coal is not good for humanity, but rather is good for the private profits of the big mining donors to the Liberal Party.
