If their projects involve water, should coal companies be subject to additional government regulations?
The Australian government has recently passed legislation which means any new CSG or large coal projects potentially linked to water reservoirs will need assessment by an expert committee before being approved.

fossil fuel companies should be more regulated regardless
Yes, and all fossil fuel companies should be heavily regulated.

don't support coal mining at all

Coal companies should be heavily restricted to encourage redirection to renewable energy methods
@92SZ42J2yrs2Y
There should be no new coal mines. Instead use renewable sources of energy.
It should have regulations that require them to use limited amount but keep it semi-environmentally friendly
Coal companies should not be permitted to expand into ANY new mining operation regardless of any potential links to water.
Yes, as long as they clean/purify the water.
Yes. Water is precious and finite. Also, regulations must absolutely take into consideration First Nations Water and Sea Rights.
