      Yes, but there are quite a few of us who would like to see that industry wind down q bit to save things like the Barrier Reef and Earth in general.

      It’s also the country where a third of homes have solar panels. Coal mining is still an issue but the proportion used for domestic power is decreasing every year.

      Australia isn’t just Gina Rhinehart. Yes, Australia’s economy is very mining heavy, and that includes coal mining. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t a lot of people there who realize that, in a region with that much sunshine, solar is a bit of no-brainer.
