Thu 28 April 2005 - Hazelwood lives!
So, Hazelwood, the state’s dirtiest power station, and the nation’s heaviest polluter, is likely to keep churning along for another 26 years, happily burning filthy brown coal for electricity.
Surely it must be time to not just research, but actively build alternative, sustainable electricity generators. The irony is some people are vehemently opposed to wind farms, on aesthetic grounds. They probably think of themselves as greenies, but ultimately we have to decide if we’re going to preserve every single bit of landscape as-is, or if we’re going to stop digging dirty coal out of the ground and burning it off.
