“A study of one abandoned coal exploration borehole in a Queensland paddock has found it was leaking the same amount of greenhouse gases in a year as about 10,000 cars – and there could be thousands more just like it.”
Now multiply that by 130,000 other coal exploration boreholes in Queensland.

A small victory.
Good.
Better yet?
Force all coal burning plants to install scrubbers to eliminate all air pollution generated. Not just in the USA. EVERYWHERE ON THIS DAMNED PLANET
#CoalKills people
#Coalpoisons the air, adds mercury to the oceans and poisons fish
If installing scrubbers makes burning coal economically unfeasible, too bad.
It's time we stopped trading lives and health to line the pockets of #corrupt #politicians and the rich who #bribe them.
Ohio lawmakers have voted to end the subsidy for two unprofitable Cold War-era coal plants costing Ohio ratepayers nearly $400,000 a day. The payout was tucked years ago into House Bill 6, the tainted energy bill at the center of Ohio's largest ever corruption scandal. A sweeping new energy policy overhaul calls for immediately eliminating the subsidy for Ohio Valley Electric Corp.'s two coal plants. The Ohio Senate passed its version of the legislation on a unanimous vote, and the Ohio House overwhelmingly approved Senate changes. It goes next to Republican Gov. Mike DeWine, whose office said he is reviewing the amended measure.
