The PM was asked in question time by Labor re a statement by Paul Broad of Snowy Hydro throwing cold water on coal fired generation. I thought the PM shafted the stupidity implied in the question by pointing out that when Snowy Hydro 2.0 went ahead (great Dog of a thing) then Snowy Hydro would be buying power from coal generators.
Right now coal is providing 67.5% of the Eastern grid power – Gas is 15.4%, Hydro 15.8%, Solar 3.1%, Wind 0.9%, Totals 102.7 I see Paul Broad can speak from both sides of mouth. In April – ‘madness’ to close Liddell then in May Snowy 2.0 can ‘out-compete’ any new coal plants. If anybody can pass on exact text of question and answer please do.
