An interview with the last resident of the village of Wollar in Australia. Everyone else has sold per property to Peabody coal mining.

If the new use of the town's land was something necessary for Australia and the world to survive, I would say that what has happened in Wollar was not so bad. At least people are getting bought out and they can move to other communities.

But given that mining more coal is death, the state should not have permitted a new coal mine at all. Laws should prohibit new coal mines.
