Power and the passion: part two
When looking at the implications of transition away from coal to a more diversified economy, the jobs piece is really important, and so is the quantum of the royalties for government.
In part 2 of the Herald's series 'Power and the passion' Professor Roberta Ryan from the University of Newcastle's Institute of Regional Futures (formerly the Hunter Research Foundation (HRF) Centre) raises the issue of the value of the coal sector in terms of royalties, and the challenge a decline in productivity presents for government.
'Power and the passion' examines the future of Newcastle's coal industry in the context of renewable energy transition.
