Coal Exports

Submitted By: Terry from Blaine, WA

I'm working in opposition to permitting coal export shipping terminals from the west coast of the U.S. to meet current temporary demand in the Pacific Rim, and am interested in connecting with Aussies active in opposing their country's increasing exports to the Pacific Rim. I know this isn't a "fun" topic, but if anyone in Australia would send me contact info, I would really appreciate it.

Hi Terry, in this 'post' GFC world I doubt anyone could halt any activity that produces income for a country. Here we have just announced a deal with India (not PR)that gives them ownership of the land, the mine, the railways, the ports and the ships. They are on record as saying they want ownership of anything that 'their' coal touches! We provide the labour and get the 'royalties'! China and India are the growth countries and we appear to have little say in pandering to their needs. Good luck!
