Not so cheap: Australia needs to acknowledge the real cost of coal

<https://theconversation.com/not-so-cheap-australia-needs-to-acknowledge-the-real-cost-of-coal-26640>

"US President Barack Obama’s latest plan to reduce carbon emissions is a
welcome one, and not just because it addresses climate change. In
publicising the plan to cut emissions from old coal power stations,
Obama put the emphasis on health. Now it is time for Australia to do the
same."

We need to do better at including externalities generally, not just with
regard to coal.

Cheers,
