"Is it possible to have your cake and eat it too? Federal Labor is certainly
giving it a go by supporting government plans for a fossil gas/diesel peaking
plant in the Hunter Valley currently under construction – as long as the plant
switches to green hydrogen by 2030.
This is disappointing for three reasons.
One, we don’t actually need the Kurri Kurri power station. It will be a
government-built white elephant.
Two, retrofitting it to burn hydrogen would be so expensive as to be
unrealistic.
And three, burning hydrogen for power is about the least useful thing you can
do with it.
The gas/diesel plant under construction and Labor’s hydrogen proposal came from
the realm of politics. It should have stayed there."
