NO coal seam gas and No mining.. This rape and pillage of our country has got to stop.. The people doing it can not be trusted any more than the politicians giving permission to do the right thing

 @9VTDTPKanswered…4mos4MO

Yes, until we have operational nuclear power generation to replace coal without destabilising the grid.

 @9VF5LZFanswered…5mos5MO

Generally no, but existing operations may exist pending further research; and that additional funding to allow for studies against proposals should be made in addition to the petroleum-funded consultants that work for the proponents.

No, we're giving away profits to offshore companies by doing so (with minimal benefit to our own economy) and we're hurting the environment in the meantime

 @9M8CT84answered…10mos10MO

Both for yes. 1) Yes, but increase environmental restrictions and oversight. 2) Yes, as long as the projects are far away from residential areas.

Australia should be working to transition away from non-renewables. however not at the cost to the economy, this is why Australia needs to be working closer with larger states to achieve this in a realistic way. Stop telling Australian that renewables are 10 years away. I work with renewable energy, misinformation around it is the problem. not the technology.
