An organisation set up to research low-emission coal technologies is funding a multi-million-dollar media campaign aimed at making Australians feel"proud about coal", according to advertising industry insiders.A research organisation established to develop low-carbon emission coal is spending millions in a pro-coal advertising blitz
BHP has endured a testy relationship with the Minerals Council over its advocacy of coal-fired power, with the big miner preferring to promote"decarbonising the economy" "We are not sure exactly what the focus of it is to be," COAL21's chief executive officer Mark McCallum told the ABC."[But it will be] CCS sort of technologies."
Yet carbon capture and storage does not rate a mention in a document sent to creative agencies and media production companies outlining the brief.Instead, it describes the campaign effort as"part of maintaining and enhancing the public standing and reputation of Australia's coal industry and Australian mining more generally" as well as"rebutting false campaigns by activist groups and optimising opportunities".

I will never feel anything about coal, I am simply pragmatic and accept it as an important income source and interim energy production option until fusion reactors are available. Coal will be history by 2040.

Now if the ABC were going to support the construction of nuclear electrical power generating stations that would be an entirely different affair.
Not. Going. To. Work.
Mining research group to launch ad blitz to make Australians 'feel proud about coal' no shit? coal gives out smog so coal power was banned near Beijing They can not market shit as harmless manure Coal is coal
We are wasting $29billion of taxpayer money each year that should be spent on infrastructure, the aged, sick, poor, hospitals and schools propping up a dying industry. Each state is wasting more.
Time to give up flogging a dead horse ABC. You are undermining your own programs.
How embarrassing for them
Australians need to know there is no future for coal here. It is what is known as a stranded asset and will deepen the Liberal Government’s recession. Time to transition into other mining like copper and lithium.
popcoin3 The ABC has no need to support the continued attempts of coal to survive in Australia. It is collapsing throughout the world.
Another disinformation campaign as they invest in renewables.
Some sort of silly joke is it?!
