AMD's Radeon VII is the corporate's eagerly anticipated response to the RTX 2080 graphics playing cards that Nvidia launched final fall. Priced the identical because the RTX 2080, the $699 Radeon VII is the primary graphics card underpinned by a 7nm course of, doubtlessly giving AMD the ammunition to ship a aggressive high-end graphics card for the primary time in years.
The VII is the direct successor to AMD's Vega 64 and shares the same structure to that card, with particular enhancements in clock speeds and VRAM. However with Nvidia's playing cards dominating the dialog and loaded with distinctive options not obtainable on the Radeon, the VII must show its benefit based mostly on pure efficiency: can this card really play fashionable AAA video games at 4K resolutions and a gentle 60 frames per second?
As well as, one of many most important issues of any high-end graphics card is provide and demand. PC players are all too conversant in fluctuating GPU costs and a scarcity of retail availability, whether or not it's a change in market developments or a sudden curiosity in mining cryptocurrency. Nvidia suffers from this, too: provide is so low that it's mainly unimaginable to search out an RTX 2080 Ti listed with out a appreciable markup. If AMD can't produce and ship sufficient items, you received't be capable of discover it for that $699 value — and its worth proposition in opposition to Nvidia's playing cards will utterly collapse.
I can't assist however really feel some uncertainty about giving AMD the good thing about the doubt, as a result of historical past has not been in its favor. When the Vega 64 launched in 2017, it additionally had comparable efficiency to Nvidia's top-tier GTX 1080, but it surely wasn't available in giant numbers and its value spiked in consequence. It's not but clear that may occur once more, however the truth that AMD's card went on sale late final week and is already out of inventory at most retailers (besides from AMD instantly) doesn't encourage confidence.
Over the previous week, I tasked myself to check video games in 4K and 1440p on the Radeon VII, on the lookout for any indication that AMD's card shall be a aggressive different for Nvidia's RTX GPUs. The quick reply? Sure, it's. The lengthy reply: it's sophisticated.
The Radeon VII is powered by AMD's second-generation Vega structure and is designed to deal with the steadily growing reminiscence necessities of video games, in addition to the plethora of high-resolution shows that players and inventive customers work with. It really has fewer cores than the Vega 64 did, however comes with a 300MHz larger increase clock pace and double the HBM2 reminiscence, at 16GB.
That's twice as a lot RAM as discovered within the 2080, and a full 5GB of RAM greater than even within the top-tier 2080 Ti. AMD's RAM additionally affords twice the bandwidth of Nvidia's. The brand new 7nm manufacturing course of is a part of what offers the Radeon VII its identify — AMD confirmed it additionally stands for "Vega II" — and it, too, is forward of Nvidia's present 12nm processes.
These enhancements come at a value, nevertheless. The Radeon VII is a power-hungry GPU, although it's utilizing essentially the most power-efficient manufacturing course of up to now. It requires two eight-pin connections and sips as much as 300 watts of energy, round 5 extra watts than the earlier era's requirement and 75 greater than Nvidia's RTX 2080.
The Radeon VII doesn't fairly seem like any of AMD's current graphics playing cards, as a result of its cooling system doesn't work like them both. As a substitute of a blower design with a single fan that pushes the GPU's sizzling air outdoors of your case, AMD has a brand new open-air, triple-fan design that's completely different than a number of the third-party coolers we're used to seeing. Like Nvidia's RTX playing cards, the Radeon VII is vapor chamber cooled, utilizing a graphite thermal cooling pad as a substitute of thermal paste to remain cool underneath load.
However even with the triple-fan design and vapor chamber cooling, the Radeon VII runs sizzling and loud. Whether or not I used to be utilizing the cardboard with an eGPU enclosure or within a desktop, the Radeon VII's followers at all times sang a track of excessive RPM whereas it was underneath load.
It's usually troublesome for my co-workers within the Verge workplace to determine what I'm doing in entrance of some newfangled gaming monitor. However with the Radeon VII, it's a distinct story: "Are you enjoying video games?" is normally adopted by "Is that the AMD card?" Having a quiet desktop gaming PC and utilizing this graphics card (no less than with AMD's reference cooler, which all of its companions are at present delivery) are mutually unique.
These quick and loud followers didn't hold temps down as a lot as anticipated, both. I might really feel the warmth emitted by the GPU throughout my desktop's chassis and thru its air vents, making my mATX-sized case hotter than any RTX sequence card did. In case you want having a quiet setup or holding your GPU cool always, the Radeon VII may make that troublesome for you.
What's really occurring with the warmth is a bit sophisticated, although. At first, it appeared just like the Radeon VII was burning up: I measured a peak temperature of 105 levels Celsius enjoying Black Ops IIII, at 4K decision and extremely settings, which is a actually sizzling peak temperature.
However AMD instructed me that's not solely inside regular working temperatures, however that this card measures temperature very otherwise than earlier than, so it's probably not comparable with different GPUs. The Radeon VII makes use of junction temperature — the best working temperature of the particular semiconductor and never the encircling exterior — to raised gauge and throttle efficiency underneath load, and it's additionally doubled the variety of temperature sensors for the reason that final Vega card (64 in complete).
AMD can really run the cardboard slightly bit hotter than earlier than to offer you higher efficiency, as a result of it might extra precisely see once you're approaching the redline. AMD says that the Radeon VII will begin throttling when the junction temperature reaches 110 levels Celsius. I didn't see temps that excessive in my checks, so the cardboard was apparently performing as designed.
AMD additionally contains software program with its show drivers known as Radeon Chill, which has a power-saving function that drastically decreases the fan noise and warmth the cardboard produces. However it additionally throttles efficiency, which makes it more durable to play video games at 4K resolutions.
Over the following few weeks and months, we'll see completely different variations of the Radeon VII from OEMs like ASUS, MSI, and others. It's doable that thermal administration and noise could possibly be barely higher addressed in these fashions.
To know why the Radeon VII is consuming all that energy, I needed to check its functionality to persistently attain 60+ fps in standard PC video games.
To see how this card performs with a setup reflective of PC gaming gear in 2019, I examined the Radeon VII with each QHD and 4K screens. Each shows function excessive refresh charges — 120Hz on the 4K Acer Predator and 144Hz on the 1440p AOC show — and HDR, and have been related to the Radeon VII by means of DisplayPort. However when you're questioning if this GPU is an ideal match in your 120 / 144Hz monitor, my fast response can be "no." The Radeon VII solely received previous 120 fps in two out of the 5 demanding video games I examined.
The Radeon VII has sturdy efficiency when enjoying 4K video games with out ray tracing. I used to be in a position to play Battlefield V in 4K extremely settings at a mean of 65 fps. However the RTX 2080 manages at 73 fps in the identical recreation, and the significantly costlier RTX 2080 Ti hits a mean of 84 fps. With real-time ray tracing turned on, the Nvidia playing cards' performances do take successful, however that possibility isn't even obtainable on the Radeon VII.
Transferring from a first-person shooter to displaying the attractive racetracks of Forza Horizon 4 at 4K and extremely settings, the Radeon VII clocked in a mean of 84 fps. This nonetheless doesn't finest the RTX 2080 and RTX 2080 Ti playing cards, which averaged 97 fps and 109 fps, respectively.
The primary time we examined the RTX playing cards at launch, we didn't see 4K efficiency outcomes anyplace close to what we're seeing at the moment. The enhancements could be attributed to the numerous updates and recreation optimizations launched within the months since their launch. Meaning AMD may additionally be capable of catch up, but it surely has loads of work to do.
Briefly, whereas the Radeon VII's efficiency falls barely behind the Founder's Version RTX card, you'll nonetheless be capable of play demanding AAA titles in 4K, holding sturdy at round 60 fps, whereas reaching larger values for much less demanding video games.
On my lower-resolution QHD monitor, the Radeon VII crushed each recreation operating in 1440p that I threw at it. For instance, I clocked 116 fps whereas enjoying Battlefield V at extremely settings. Equally, Black Ops IIII is taken into account mild work for the Radeon VII, hitting 149 fps on extremely settings at 1440p.
Whereas testing gaming and streaming on the similar time, I solely misplaced ~5 fps on Rainbow Six: Siege at 1440p. Streamers ought to be capable of file in 1440p (or 1080p for that matter) with out worrying in any respect about having the efficiency headroom to concurrently deal with streaming and gameplay.
Based mostly on my expertise with the Radeon VII, it's certainly a really succesful high-end graphics card for contemporary, high-resolution gaming. It stays secure underneath heavy masses, with none crashes or shutdowns on any of the machines I examined it with. However even with twice as a lot reminiscence and that fancy new 7nm manufacturing course of, the Radeon VII doesn't beat the RTX 2080 in gaming efficiency, regardless of that card being constructed on a 12nm course of and with simply 8GB of RAM.
Creatives may be capable of get extra use out of the Radeon's additional VRAM, however players aren't prone to but, as many video games are simply unable to make use of all 16GB on faucet. The RTX card additionally runs cooler, makes use of much less energy, and has assist for choices like real-time ray tracing and DLSS, which aren't obtainable on the Radeon. Admittedly, we're nonetheless ready on sufficient video games with real-time ray tracing to truly justify shopping for a card for that function.
Very similar to how Nvidia was in a position to enhance efficiency on its RTX playing cards with a sequence of software program updates, AMD has a shot at redeeming the Radeon VII in the long run. Sport optimizations and driver updates launched after the cardboard's launch might barely enhance the Radeon VII's efficiency, and will make it extra aggressive on a efficiency degree in comparison with Nvidia's playing cards.
However it all hinges on whether or not AMD is definitely in a position to produce sufficient playing cards to fulfill demand and hold costs regular. A consultant for the corporate instructed me that "[AMD] believes we're nicely positioned to fulfill demand and, along with promoting on AMD.com for patrons within the U.S. and Canada. [We] are additionally working with e-tailers and AIB companions to assist world gross sales for this thrilling new product." Moreover, "Ongoing provide for the Radeon VII is anticipated to reach on a weekly foundation to fulfill demand." Throughout time of publication, the Radeon VII is on the market on AMD's web site, however bought out at most on-line retailers.
Total, the Radeon VII is actually one of the best card AMD has launched in a while, and is able to fashionable gaming at 4K resolutions. But when I have been shopping for a brand new GPU at the moment, I'd have a tough time selecting the Radeon VII over the extra succesful RTX 2080 for a similar value.

A FRIENDSHIP MADE & LOST IN WAR
"THE AMBULANCE DRIVERS: Hemingway, Dos Passos, and a Friendship Made and Lost in War" serves as both a dual biography and a story of 2 men who shared an ambition of making themselves the pre-eminent writers of their generation.
I wish to give credit to James McGrath Morris for writing such an interesting and engaging book. Prior to reading "THE AMBULANCE DRIVERS", I had cursory knowledge about Hemingway and had read one of his short stories during my freshman year in college that I thought at the time was rather good. A testament to the sparse prose that typifies Hemingway's best writing. As for John dos Passos, he was little more than a name I chanced upon over the past 20 years. I had read 2 books of his - the anti-war World War I novel 'Three Soldiers' (originally published in 1921) and a work of non-fiction, 'Mr. Wilson's War: From the Assassination of McKinley to the Defeat of the League of Nations' - both of which I liked, though I much preferred the latter to the former. So, when I came across "THE AMBULANCE DRIVERS" in a local, independent bookstore several weeks ago and read its flyleaf, I was determined to buy it.
Both men, despite their shared literary ambition, could not have been more different. Dos Passos, an only child from a somewhat affluent background, had grown up partly in Europe and partly in the U.S. and spoke several languages fluently. He was admitted to Harvard at 16 and graduated 4 years later in 1916. Curious about the war in Europe, he made his war to France early in 1917 and later joined the ambulance corps, serving on the Western Front on attachment with the French Army that summer. The experience solidified Dos Passos' impression of war as an absurdity fostered by governments practicing deceit (via propaganda) and a needless waste of lives.
Hemingway grew up in Oak Park, Illinois (near Chicago), the second of 5 children to a physician father and a mother who had trained as a musician. With America's entry into World War I in 1917, Hemingway, freshly out of high school, was keen to join the fight. But without his parents' consent, it wasn't possible for him to join the U.S. Army. So, for the remainder of the year, Hemingway went to work for The Kansas City Star as a cub reporter. There he honed his writing skills and came to rely on the Star's guide which came to define him later as a writer: "Use short sentences. Use short first paragraphs. Use vigorous English. Be positive, not negative."
Early in 1918, Hemingway responded to a recruitment drive from the Red Cross for ambulance drivers to serve at the Front. He arrived in France in June 1918. It was a critical time in the war with the Germans scarcely 40 miles from Paris and on the move. Hemingway didn't remain in France long. He went to Italy, where he and Dos Passos first became acquainted with each other. It was a brief encounter for both men. Hemingway was soon sent to the Front, where he was wounded in a mortar attack and ended up hospitalized in Italy for several months afterward. Dos Passos had run afoul of the Red Cross authorities for some anti-war remarks he had made in a letter to a friend in Spain that had been confiscated, translated, and read by Dos Passos' superiors. Plus, the draft board in the U.S. was breathing down his neck because Dos Passos had been out of the country at the time he had received a draft notice from the Army in 1917. So, Dos Passos returned to the U.S., was allowed to join the Army, returned with it to France shortly after the Armistice, gained acceptance into a special study program at the Sorbonne - courtesy of the Army, and was honorably discharged late in 1919.
The book, in the main, is about the development and the ups and downs of Hemingway's and Dos Passos' friendship. (The book also gives the reader wide ranging views of the personal lives of both men.) It was a friendship that was, at turns, supportive and fiercely competitive. As Hemingway gained fame from his best-selling novel, 'The Sun Also Rises' (1926) and gradually established his fame and reputation as a writer over the next decade, his friendship with Dos Passos would become fractious and eventually fall apart while both men were in Spain covering the civil war there in 1937.
I enjoyed reading "THE AMBULANCE DRIVERS" so much and recommend it to anyone wanting to learn about the lives of 2 key figures in 20th century American literature.

Fairy-starved Russell Edgington. Zealot-turned-despot Bill Compton. And Jessica, plenty of Jessica.
Yes, I did enjoy my #Truesday this week. It wasn't as heart-wrenching as last week's escapade, but there was plenty of action Jackson. The episode pulled the world ever closer to vampire war, explained the level of Lillith fervor and only backpedaled in the slightest by allowing Arlene to speak a sentence or two. But as we do every Truesday, here are my takeaways and I look forward to reading yours.
I am not a huge fan of the fairies, particularly since they look like Fantasy Headquarters fright masks when they're dead. But I was digging the Elder they introduced in this ep. Her crazy dancing and pop culture quiz while Sookie was interrogating her about the evil Warlow tickled my fancy. I also liked that she knew Ke$ha wasn't a real singer and that, yes, Boyz II Men is the truth.
Vampire Tara continues to own her former human form. Rutina Wesley should praise the day she went to ground. Her arc is 100% better as a result. And her somewhat reconciliation with Jessica also brought a smile to this admitted frenemy of her previous, simpering self. I am not, however, buying she has feelings for Pam. It seems more like (see creepy mom/dad/progeny talk) Pam is the tough, but loving mother her crooked wig-looking biological never managed to be.
Pam, as a mama/maker, is a great one though for taking the rap for her progeny's crime (of staking the Goth Sheriff). But she stays arrested, does she not? How many times has Pam been put in the silvers? It's a good thing she owns her own business. As a repeat vampire felon, she wouldn't stand a chance seeking gainful employment.
I enjoyed this scene immensely, where the big mouth, cocky General tried to son the Authority in their own lair only to be neck checked by Eric himself. Killing a high government official with a spine snap might not have been the wisest move, though it did earn Eric and Nora their much-desired ESC from the compound. But it made for an amusing TV moment. I watched it twice.
My only real beef with this otherwise exciting episode that is leading to an all-out apocalypto is that they slew my Kibwe. I realize that Lillith (who really looks like X-Men's Mystique, only red) drove Bill to madness, but there is no excuse for beheading the second love of my fang banging life apart from Eric Northman. I'm also not understanding how Alcide's errant father plays into the overall story, other than to provide us an excuse to look at his son's rippling muscles as he does random, angry manual labor.
Your turn: What did you think of the episode? Where do you see the plot going? Who might meet the True Death before it's all said and done.

Over the past four years, the two companys have partnered to distribute and market N.I. products in the U.S. Focusing on expanding product lines and on their respective future directions, both companies have agreed to part ways.

An hour before dawn on a rooftop in Raqqa, you can see the Milky Way. The Islamic State's embattled capital in Syria, once home to hundreds of thousands of people, has been bombed back into darkness, but from the city center comes the trancelike recitation of the call to prayer. A sudden flash of red light illuminates the skyline, and a rumbling like distant thunder rolls over the rooftops. As soon as it subsides, the reading of scripture resumes, until it is again silenced by the flash and thud of an American bomb.

The United States has not been clear about its exit plan in Syria, and will still need boots on the ground after ISIS has morphed into a nonstate actor. Gen. Raymond Thomas, commander of United States Special Operations Command, said that it would be advantageous for the coalition to stay in Syria and support the Syrian Democratic Forces as long as there "is a CT [counter-terrorism] threat to deal with"—suggesting that the United States will remain there for some time to come.

The end game has arrived. In Syria, the U.S.-backed campaign to retake Raqqa from the Islamic State is nearing its final chapter. And yet the rifts inside the United States government about what to do next, as ISIS falls, are as evident in President Donald Trump's administration as they were many months ago in Obama's. The questions about the long-term have yet to be answered.

Commando units and heavy artillery have moved to the border in Turkey's Reyhanli district and they have been conducting military exercises in Turkey's eastern region area near Sirnak. The target is not ISIS, which has suffered serious defeats in both Iraq and Syria. Other dilemmas lie before Turkey's leadership.

The situation of the Kurds in a drastically changing Middle East has received little attention in academia and less in the media despite their growing impact on regional and international politics. The biggest stateless people living in the Middle East are on the verge of a new status, not only in Iraqi Kurdistan, where a referendum for independence takes place on September 25, 2017, but also in Syria and Turkey. In Syria, Kurds have fought an organised and effective struggle against the IS. In Turkey, they have suffered a massive destruction of Kurdish cities, displacement of half a million Kurds and eradication of all forms of legal entity by the Turkish state. Then there is Iran. This week's short series looks at current political struggles of the Kurds in four neighbouring countries.

In its 1978 manifesto, the PKK declared the establishment of an independent state to be the most important political goal of any national liberation movement. Twenty years on, the party's leader Abdullah Öcalan changed this when he developed an ideological framework based on the idea of self-governing, stateless societies as the best way of addressing socioeconomic and sociocultural injustices. In this talk, Joost Jongerden explains this paradigm shift, which reoriented the PKK as well as other Kurdish movements in the Middle East.

Franz Xaver Hackher zu Hart
Monument to Major Hackher on the Graz Schlossberg by Otto Jarl (erected: 1909–1941)
Monument to Major Hackher on the Graz Schlossberg by Wilhelm Gösser since 1966
Franz Xaver Ritter and Edler Hackher zu Hart , from 1812 Freiherr Hackher zu Hart (born November 13, 1764 in Vienna ; † September 2, 1837 there ) was an imperial and royal genius - colonel and defender of the Graz Schloßberg during the French siege in 1809. Am Grazer Schloßberg the Hackher Lion still reminds of his valiant defense against the troops of Napoléon Bonaparte .
2 honors
After completing his training at the Genie Academy from 1785 to 1787, he was retired as a sub-lieutenant and took part in the Turkish War (1787–1792). After its end he was promoted to first lieutenant and in 1796 to captain in the engineering corps . He also distinguished himself during the siege of Mantua , becoming a captain on July 11, 1801 and major on January 11, 1808 .
Knight's Cross of the Military Maria Theresa Order
His clever and brave defense of the Graz Schlossberg in May and June 1809 against the Napoleonic troops earned him the Knight's Cross of the Military Maria Theresa Order and lasting fame in Graz.
"The French had fired at the sparsely manned and poorly armed fortress from three, later two positions in the Grabenvorstadt and Geidorf and tried to conquer it in a total of seven infantry attacks."
Hackher was subsequently elevated to the rank of baron in 1812 and promoted to lieutenant colonel in 1813 .
Napoleon, on the other hand, was so angry about the heroic defense that in the Peace of Schönbrunn the razing of the fortress on the Schlossberg was also set; only the clock tower and bell tower could be saved by the citizens of Graz at great financial sacrifice.
In the following missions in 1813 and 1814 in the northern army of the Swedish Crown Prince Karl XIV. Johann Hackher earned a high reputation for his achievements and was awarded the Swedish Order of the Sword .
Hackher later became director of the Moravian Fortification District . In 1820 he was promoted to colonel and in early 1826 he retired. Most recently he lived in Brunn . In 1812 he married Maria Barbara, daughter of the kk wholesaler Jakob Edler von Smitmer.
Hackher died in Vienna in September 1837. His grave is located in Vienna on the edge of Waldmüllerpark Grabstein Nr. 66 (10th district, between Landgut-, Herz-, Dampf- and Karmarschgasse) as part of a monument grove with 100 important grave monuments of famous personalities.
Graduation badge "Hackher zu Hart" from the Theresian Military Academy in Wiener Neustadt
In 1909 a memorial was erected to him on the Schlossberg ( 47 ° 4 ′ 38.06 ″ N , 15 ° 26 ′ 13.82 ″ E ), which was held on October 17 of the same year in the presence of Governor Edmund von Attems-Heiligenkreuz von Archduke Friedrich of Austria-Teschen was unveiled. The "Hackherlöwe" (cannon bronze casting: Alois Josef Selzer, Metallkompositions-Produktion Siebenharr , Vienna-Mariahilf ) created by the Swedish-born Otto Jarl (1856-1915) was removed as an "Adolf Hitler metal donation" from the city of Graz in 1941 and Melted down in 1943. It was not until 1966 that Wilhelm Gösser's freely perceived recreation could be unveiled at the original location. 47.0772402 15.4371717
The Hackher barracks in Gratkorn , which lies in the direction of the lion, is named after him. In 2011 the Theresian Military Academy in Wiener Neustadt was named after him to commemorate the 2013 decommissioning year . The vintage badge bears the hoe taken from the family coat of arms and ends at the bottom with the motto of the Austrian officers, "Faithful to death".

There is a wide variety of safes available for home and commercial use. Here are some questions to ask yourself so that you can narrow down your search to safes that would work well for you. What Are You Most Concerned About? Two main things that safe owners are concerned about is burglary and fire protection. Different safes perform these tasks with varying levels of competence, so if you are more concerned about one or the other, it's a good idea to share this with your locksmith upfront.
Security is an important aspect of anything that connects to the internet, and that includes most home automation products. However, internet security is complicated and most people just ignore it instead of trying to grapple with these complications. Learning the basics is a great way to protect yourself from most threats without having to get a computer science degree. Reset Default Passwords Many devices will have some sort of password for accessing part or all of the device.
Coming home to shattered windows or a kicked in door and missing belongings is a terrible feeling. Not only do home break-ins lead to monetary loss, but they can also create a feeling of violation that is hard to shake afterward. The best way to handle home break-ins is to take proactive steps to prevent them from happening in the first place. With break-ins occurring every 13 seconds in the U.
Just because you might be extremely diligent in locking your door, it doesn't mean that you're safe from burglaries. A home burglary occurs every 13 seconds in the U.S. The condition that the locks are in will affect whether your house is a likely target. Most homeowners spend a lot of time fussing over the locks without even spending any time on the lock plate. Unknown to many, the condition of the lock plate can have a huge affect on how secure your home is.
Parents of small children know how easy it is to forget something or misplace something, especially when trying to keep up with a small child or baby and all of the "stuff" that seems to be required when leaving the house. In the hustle and bustle of it all, it can be terrifyingly easy to find yourself locked out of your home or car with your keys still inside, and your child inside, too.

The numbers are in: Aussies love coal
Advance News March 04, 2020
Despite the rolling hysteria in the mainstream media about the evils of coal, the lefties are still losing the battle for the hearts and minds of Australians.
Recent opinion polling by Essential Media reveals 68 per cent of Aussies actually like coal and want the industry to continue providing export dollars and reliable electricity.
Imagine how much higher that percentage would be if the media was telling the truth about what wind and solar is doing to our electricity prices and reliability of supply.
Sensible Senator Matt Canavan reminded us of this again recently.
Every wind turbine you pass when driving along the road is getting $600,000 per year from the taxpayers' pocket.
But the wind only blows on average 40 per cent of the time.
They're like the dole bludgers of power generation.
And yet the left yell from their high horses about how immoral it would be for the taxpayer to subsidise coal-fired power stations.
Give us a break.
It is the rivers of cash from our pockets that have laced the renewables sector and bastardised our electricity market.
Thankfully the Essential poll shows mainstream Australians have far from abandoned common sense – our fake news environment hasn't got everyone singing the same deluded tune.
Aussies are seeing through the hype.
47 per cent said "The government should let the coal mining industry and coal-fired power plants continue operating as long as they are profitable, but not subsidise them or support the expansion of the industry."
A further 21 per cent said "The government should subsidise coal-fired power plants to keep them going and provide financial support for new mines and other projects in the coal industry."
These figures are a big tick for coal.
With 68 per cent of Australians overwhelmingly pro-coal, it is time the media started telling the truth.
Imagine if Australians were asked: "Do you support every wind turbine receiving a $600,000 a year subsidy from the taxpayer?"
The fact that Canavan's revelations had to be sourced from a blogger rather than the mainstream media says it all.
Australians are not being given the full story. Yet Essential's poll proves we're not stupid despite the constant fake news.
Thankfully, even while the anti-coal fever rages amongst climate alarmists, the Morrison Government is working hard to keep the lights on, virtually begging AGL to keep the massive Liddell coal-fired power station in the NSW Hunter Valley going.
Perhaps there's hope yet for the future of black gold in Australia.
