Quarterly Essay 33: Quarry Vision Coal Climate Change and the Resources Boom
This is an essay about 'quarry vision', the mindset that sees Australia's greatest asset as its mineral resources - coal especially. How has this distorted our national politics and our response to climate change? What will happen if the resources boom goes bust?
In this powerful essay about the national interest, Guy Pearse discusses the future of the coal industry and argues with the economic pragmatists. He exposes the shadowy world of greenhouse lobbyists; how they think, operate and skin cats. Quarry vision, he argues, is a trap and a blind faith and a mentality we can no longer afford.
