Australia wakes up to brown coal bonanza — 1,000 years of energy, if only we didn’t believe faulty climate models. By Joanne Nova.

Five weeks after it started, suddenly Australians are noticing the bonanza under our feet all along.

That most hated thing, the unthinkable brown coal, could save the day if we would only stop beating it down with blunt sticks and Voodoo dolls.

In 2016 Geoscience Australia estimated we have so much brown coal we could keep burning the deposits we already know about at the current rate for our whole lives, and our children’s lives, and their children’s lives too. We could keep going for 40 generations. …

Brown coal is the cheapest fuel there is for reliable electricity, bar none, but even more importantly, it can be turned into liquid fuels, which Australia desperately needs for trucks, tractors, and mining gear. We need to be able to pour our energy into a tank at room temperature and pressure, and in five minutes flat.

It’s great to see National Party talking about the thousand-year supply, and also about a new method of turning coal to liquid fuel. Do the Liberals have enough gumption to even follow The Nats? …

Brown coal could fill an awesome gap in our national energy profile. Imagine we could make all the diesel, jet fuel and petrol we needed and we were not doing it because we were afraid of 0.0001% more beach-weather a century from now?

China is already converting 400 million tons of coal each year and we’re afraid to copy that because some teenage girls will cry?

We ignore brown coal only because our ruling class wants to believe the faulty climate models, having never done any due diligence on them. Stupid, stupid, stupid.
