* Q3. The construction of coal-fired power plants often result in land acquisition, displacement, air and water pollution and an increase in pollution-related diseases. Do you feel that these health and environmental costs are justifiable in order to deliver more electricity, given there are other renewable energy alternatives available for generating power?

Yes

* Q4. Some indian power companies are attempting to build new coal mines in Australia. They plan to import at least some of this coal to India and use it to generate electricity. A study has found that the cost of electricity using this imported coal would be twice as much as the national average, and would also be more expensive than renewable energy from solar and wind.

Are you in favour of these power companies for importing coal from their proposed mines in Australia?

Yes
