An open cast or drift coal mine in the Hunter Valley, New South Wales.
An open cast or drift coal mine managed by Xstrata coal in the Hunter Valley, New South Wales. If we are serious about tackling climate change, coal, the dirtiest of fossil fuels, needs to be kept in the ground. Sadly around 85% of all Austtralians energy is generated from coal fired power stations. They also export huge quantities around the world, especially to China.
