Australia Debates: Does a Warming Planet Really Need More Coal?
Keywords: Coal, Australia Coal,
Coal India under the Modi administration- problems with lack of technology and the 1 billion ton target for 2020
05/14/2015
India's coal monopoly Coal India, is state run and hugely inefficient, lacking technology that is commonly found in other countries. The average age of 333,000 employees is 45-50, and with the lack of modern technology, an eight hour shift can produce what a modern mine in the U.S. could do in 5 minutes, say experts. Coal plays a critical role for electricity production to power India's manufacturing, and its economy. The Modi administration is focussing on efficiency, introducing competition, and setting a target of about 15% growth in output for the next 5 years. Only about 75% of Indians have access to electricity, much lower than Brazil, Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia and Vietnam. China is close to 100%.

The Modi government and India's plans to double coal production with 300 million people without access to electricity
01/24/2015
Coal is seen as available freeely with India having the fifth largest coal deposits in the world. India is likely to be dependent on coal for 60% of its energy needs in 2030, even with an increase in renewable energy and nuclear power. India cites per capita carbon emissions which are about 1.7 for India, 6.2 for China, and 17.6 for the U.S. With about a fourth of the population without access to electricity and power shortages in other areas, India plans to use coal with plants designed for lower emissions, maintain filtration plants for water, and other antipollution measures.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
