I still know people who quote this as fact with zero proof.
We have been told in the Hunter that coal is on the downward run in NSW. This isn't some media prediction, this is businesses working the the coal industry saying this.
Apparently there will not be any new coal mines in NSW now that Bylong has been knocked back after being approved.
Sure the current mines will keep going for decades, but It's unlikely the yearly tonnes will ever increase. We've hit peak already.
