Prime Minister Scott Morrison has delivered his plan for the future of reliable and affordable power, whilst highlighting the significant role coal will continue to play in the nation’s rebuild from the economic destruction caused by the coronavirus. “In Australia, you cannot talk about electricity generation and ignore coal,” the prime minister said. “For decades, coal-fired generation has been a source of competitive strength for our economy – reliable, low-cost energy. This is still true.
“To ensure affordable, reliable power, we need the market to deliver 1,000 megawatts of new dispatchable capacity of 2023-24, with final investment decisions by the end of April 2021.” “So, this is the plan – if the energy companies choose to step up and make these investments to create that capacity – great! We will step back,” he said. “If not, my government will step up and we will fill the gap.

ScottMorrisonMP The Gas plan? Bullshit - not after those bastards gave away our Eastern Australian gas reserves for nothing - and allow the extractors to charge us top international prices. And to think of the destruction to environment and human suffering re Climate Change. NotJournalism
ScottMorrisonMP Coal and gas provide little jobs in a dying industry, while renewables provide way more and is a growing industry. This is nothing other than a taxpayer funded venture to fill the pockets of their donor mates. This will harm our economy not help it

Coalition divided over PM's gas-led recovery strategy | Sky News AustraliaThe Prime Minister has outlined his ambitious plan for a gas-led recovery out of the COVID-19 recession, issuing a strong ultimatum for the energy sector. \n\nThe Prime Minister demanded electricity generators develop a plan before April 2021 to fill a looming shortfall in dispatchable power due to the closure of the Liddell coal powerplant in the Hunter Valley.\n\nIf private companies fail to deliver, he promised the government would build a new gas power plant to replace the Liddell power station. \n\nThe Prime Minister said “if the energy companies choose to step up and make these investments to create that capacity, great, we will step back. If not, my government will step up and we will fill the gap”.\n\nUnder the gas-led national recovery plan, the Federal government will establish a gas distribution hub, a plan to unlock new gas supplies, investment in new pipelines and a ‘use it or lose it’ rule for gas licenses for companies sitting on reserves.\n\nHowever, some Coalition members have criticised the emphasis on gas with Qld Senator Matt Canavan saying a new advanced coal power station would be more appropriate for the Hunter Valley region given the natural supply of world-class thermal coal in the area. \n Wow cheap clean coal energy!! STOP the UN agenda Energy sector be like 🤷♂️ - go extract it yourself. everything he touches turns to sh it or a government ministerial offshore scheme/scam, what a narrow mind he has proven to have..downhillskier

PM threatens private sector with government intervention in gas market | Sky News AustraliaThe Prime Minister has threatened the private sector the government will forcibly intervene in the gas market and build a new power station in the NSW Hunter Valley unless it can come up with a plan and funding over the next seven months.\n\nScott Morrison will today call for the exploration of more gas reserves including the creation of a new gas hub in Queensland.\n\n'As we turn to our economic recovery from COVID-19, affordable gas will play a central role in re-establishing a strong economy we need for jobs growth, funding gas services and opportunities for all of us,' Mr Morrison will say in a speech.\n\nThe move is in response to the planned closure of the Liddell coal-fired power station, slated for 2023, and the significant cost it would have on Australia's energy market as the government seeks to pay down debt accrued as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.\n\nImage: News Corp Australia\n\n I would've made it 7 days, this has gone on for way too long Yeah, sure they will ! Morrison does a lot of talking but no one takes much notice these days. If the government were to commission a power station, it would be years away. If new legislation was required. It would not pass the senate, and never happen. How quickly Libs flick the switch to socialism when their precious market fails taxpayers again!
