Australia's Coal Usage:

As per the report published Guardian, only 20% of the total electricity being produced through solar or wind where as still 60% of the total electricity being generated from coal.

As Guardian Quote, Australia's Long Lasting affair with coal.

The report Also published that only 25000 people are employed in this industry as successive govt always said they can't shut those coal mine just because it will shoot the unemployment

We do have vast scope in renewable energy industry to generate way and way more than number of employment coal industry is providing.
