   Meanwhile, over here in the U.S. we have so much natural gas available   
   (largely because of widespread fracking), that the coal industry is in   
   dire straits.  Maybe what Australia needs to do is to build some   
   coal-fired electric plants, and buy some of our surplus coal for them.   
   Coal is a very reliable source for electric production, not varying   
   with the weather, etc.  Alternatively, if you have the sources, start   
   doing some serious fracking to get your own natural gas.
