Turnbull talks up coal - FFS

Well, Team Abbott appears to still have it's tentacles in the Lieberal gov of Turnbull. In fact Turnbull was very close to Abbott's "coal is good for humanity" assertion. He said this:

Turnbull instead told them their idea was wrong-headed, arguing there are no moral properties to different energy sources - they are just "things" and things with various physical properties. 

"Coal is a very important part, a very large part, the largest single part in fact, of the global energy mix and likely to remain that way for a very long time, so that's not my forecast but the International Energy Agency's forecasts and many others so coal is a very important part of the agenda." canberratimes

So there you have it folks. Coal is "very important" and will be here "for a very long time" according to Turnbull. Nothing appears to have changed.
