  • I think that is a bit of a mis-direct. We don’t need that now, but we do need to develop it. There are plenty of electricity sources that provide enough for industry (plenty of hydro as a simple example).

    The chemical processes require research and subsequent change, but removing thermal coal and just using coking coal is a massive reduction in coal usage. Maybe that is ok to get us over the hump. There is a lot of research into direct reduced iron, which is an example of removing coal from that particular process. It is not impossible, but currently maybe not too easy.



















  • Interestingly, lowering your expectations is a great way to be happier. Many people have heard of keeping up with the Joneses. That is the same thing. If you can be happy with what you have, your life will be better, even if you have little.

    I’m living in an underdeveloped country at the moment, and most people are content, despite not having anything. They have community and relationships, but not things, and not always food. My family and I have learnt a lot from the local Ni-Van people

    I get the premise of the joke, but don’t discount it.
