**The cheaper, less polluting alternatives are already here. Instead, 
the Lieberals continue to provide subsidies to fossil fuels. Hell, 
they're actually considering giving a billion Dollars to a bunch of 
Indian con-men to mine coal in Qld! Like that's going to end well. 
Trouble is, the coal industry gives lots of money to the Lieberals. You 
don't have a problem with that? Can you spell 'conflict of interests'?
