Dan Schroeder: My favorite place to look this up is ember-climate.org/data/data-to.... Looks like coal in Australia dropped from 79% to 62% from 2005 to 2013, and from 64% to 46% from 2015 to 2023. The decline is less in absolute terms, though, because total generation has been increasing.

Burning coal is the most dirty, polluting, and inefficient way to get electricity. As early as 1306, Edward I banned Londoners from burning it, due to its noxious smog. So which countries are phasing it out the fastest now? Greece and the UK lead the way! Source: www.wri.org/insights/cou...

Now you've got me curious about the relative hazards (aside from climate) of coal vs. wood.

Eg, logging has the highest rate of occupational injuries and death among industries. And the rate was multitudes higher before mechanization.

How Logging Accidents Happenwww.kentuckycourage.com Logging is considered the most dangerous occupation in the US, contact workers comp attorneys at Morgan, Collins, Yeast & Salyer if you been injured.

I wonder where Australia is on this list. We have very high household solar uptake & growing grid scale RE coming on line but still a long way to go.
