Coal Mine Prohibited

"The court today ruled that Centennial Coal had failed to adequately

consider the impact of greenhouse gas emissions from its proposed Anvil Hill

coal mine in the Upper Hunter.

Justice Nicola Pain rejected Centennial's environmental assessment, saying

it did not assess the full volume of emissions from the mine, including

large volumes of carbon dioxide released when mined coal is burnt by third

parties"

Note the judge included the CO2 emission released by third parties when the

coal is burned. If this sticks there will be no new coal mines in Australia.

You can bet the lawyers are working overtime to overturn the judgment.
