How the devil can anyone seriously even think of opening coal mines again, given the state of the planet. Money above all else apaprently.
And frankly, unless they want a war on their hands, I wouldn't advise anyone - especially a right wing PM - to go anywhere near Pike river mine. Surely even Luxon & co would have more intelligence & sensitivity than that.
The planet will be fine, the climate has always changed, all this coal came from trees to begin with.
We still export coal anyway and this govt doesnt care.
the best thing we can do is use our high quality coal, build more coal power stations and use it in our steel mill.
$200 million taxpayer dollars going to the steel mill just to make it run on electricity which will place more demand on the Huntly power station is hypocritical anyway.
I believe we are exporting high grade West Coast coal bringing in a high price and importing cheap low grade coal from Indonesia for power generation
