the Coal king

Wednesday morning: Colin Barnett on his regular slot with Geoff Hutchinson. Finally got through and asked ..." Your government has been advised by the EPA that WA emissions will rise by 75% in the next few years, as a result of projects being developed including 3 new Cola fired power plants; why has your government not acknowledged this when the rest of the world is looking at 2% targets" ?
Premier Coal replied ... well the some of the world are .. blah blah, we are using more gas ... the coal companies don't like it ( !!! ) ...60% of WA electricity is from gas.. blah
Unfortunately I was cut off before being able to reply. I wonder if the premier knows that gas is only preferable to coal if you use it instead of coal rather than as well as coal.
