Guardian Au posted:All of Australia’s big four banks appear to have ruled out funding Adani’s Queensland coal project, after Westpac said it would not back opening up new coalmining regions. Good news. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2017/apr/28/big-four-banks-all-refuse-to-fund-adani-coalmine-after-westpac-rules-out-loan

What civil disobedience regarding Adani? I thought all of the stuff protesting that mine was pretty much by the book stuff, and that lawsuit from the endangered lizard etc.

I think Adani is more about the near death status of coal. It's one thing to continue to use existing infrastructure (mines, trains, power plants.) It's another thing entirely to sink a billion dollars into a white elephant like that.

lol, just lol if you think the loving banking sector, of all industries, was moved by minor protests as opposed to a cost benefit analysis that reported a less than 500% return

There's probably a financial and social reason (proportionally which it is I couldn't say) since the banks are becoming more mindful of appearing less evil. Do you really want to bankroll a mine that's going to get your branches picketed for a year?

Well given that it seems like merely the current operational fossil fuel production will use the entirety of our carbon budget for 2 degrees C it may be wise for banks not to make massive multi year investments in thing that will inevitably have to not produce the full amount they are capable of. https://newrepublic.com/article/136987/recalculating-climate-math Of course there is only ever one singular reason for a thing happening so we'd better have a big argument about which reason was the one exact one that made banks do this.

I'm under the impression this wasn't the first time they went to the banks, the banks weren't comfortable with such an investment so they pass, then political pressure is brought to bear and the banks are resisting it again. I'm worried that the Federal and State governments will try to make taxpayers fund it instead. And Albanese is just now pointing out the political slant in Federal infrastructure funding on abc24.
