Listen "Riled up in Rylstone"
Episode Synopsis
The latest scientific reports on climate change have spurred the United Nations to formally call for a rapid phase out of coal.
Meanwhile, the NSW Government is conducting a consultation to issue new coal exploration licenses.
The area it’s looking at near Rylstone is calculated to contain 910 million tonnes of coal. Yet, over the last decade we’ve seen a string of new coal mines rejected by the planning system, or withdrawing after sustained community opposition.
Caroona, Shenhua, Bylong, Rocky Hill, Angus Place, Hume Coal, have all been stopped. Casting a shadow on this good news is the approval of massive expansions to existing coal mines that have quietly been approved.
In this episode we talk to activists and campaigners who are on the ground fighting for the Rylstone area and look at what’s really happening with coal in NSW.
