Talk:Victoria and coal

New clips
The Napthine government will try to drum up interest in the vast but carbon-intensive brown coal reserves of the Latrobe Valley through a direct sales pitch to big mining companies. http://www.theage.com.au/victoria/lastditch-pitch-for-valleys-brown-coal-20130707-2pk97.html#ixzz2YP0QUOl2 Australian Power and Energy Limited proposes a $6 billion plant turning coal into gas to manufacture 50,000 barrels of diesel a day and generate 500 megawatts of power. Project later sold to Monash Energy. Allocation reclaimed by government last year after project abandoned. http://www.theage.com.au/national/broken-dreams-the-2002-brown-coal-promise-20130707-2pk0g.html

Brown coal is a fact of life for Mark Bostedt. Born and raised at Morwell in the Latrobe Valley, he has lived all his 52 years in a locale dominated by it. He works in a power industry fuelled by it. But Bostedt is also a beef farmer at Driffield, just south of Morwell. Hazelwood power station is a backdrop to the farm he helps run, its turbines fed by the open-cut coal mine the boundary of which abuts the farm's lush pastures. For Bostedt, these paddocks, and others like them in the region, are the front in a battle for the future of "the Valley".

Page update
Relocated off main page pending update


 * There is currently one major new coal fired power station -- the Dual Gas power station which, the Victorian government, is unlikely to proceed due to the lack of finance and the withdrawal of a $100 million federal government subsidy.
