Good news for Australia. I once flew from Sydney to Tokyo and the person sitting next to me turned out to be the negotiator for coal prices and volumes from Australia to Japan. He was a government employee and it made for a very interesting flight. If they build these new powerplants in the right location, they can externalize polution. Would be nice if costs of such polution had to be paid by the same country/region, to disincentivize new coal use.
