It is better to mine it in this country than to import it from abroad. This doesn’t mean that coal isn’t bad, but you cannot just look at the supply side and not the demand. If using coal were more restricted, simple economics would shut down the mine.

Thanks to these decisions we will most certainly face a catastrophic future.
