In the
Bisbane Times there is an article about the Roman Catholic and Anglican clergy against Adani.
I am not an Australian, but a European, but I am very worried about the same world we share.
The
Adani mine project is IMHO one of the worst projects wasting Queensland, Australia and the rest of the world. A country with so much sunshine in a world with global warming and a 60% bleached Great Barrier Reef by too warm sea water. And yet, in the middle of this bleached GBR, the Adani corporation (and the QLD government ?) wants to contruct a large coal mine and terminal for export to India.
Even for us, amateur astronomers, the port and mine area will generate even more light pollution.
Even when is does provide 10000 jobs, do not do this. In the renewable energy business, the same amount of jobs can be created. Or for a hyperloop or high speed rail link between Sydney-Brisbane-Cairns (as alternative to the cargo rail link between the mine and the harbor).
And India is also gradually converting to renewable, and then Adani loses an important market and then the GBR and the nature reserves of QLD are more destroyed.
What are your opinions ?
