"The Coalition just can’t kick its coal habit, with renegade Nationals senator
Matt Canavan ignoring the new nuclear talking points to return to his favourite
hobby horse: to build new coal power plants.
Canavan made his oft-repeated pitch for new coal power on X, citing a move in
Wyoming, USA, to gift $10 million in taxpayer funds for a new coal power
station.
But the Australian politician’s contribution to the energy debate was
pooh-poohed by Matt Kean, the former New South Wales energy minister and
current chair of the Climate Change Authority.
“It appears there is a new update to the Coalition’s energy policy for the
coming election: new coal fired power plants in Australia to complement the
nuclear power plants. It will be interesting to see the full details on this
new “coal first” policy,” Kean deadpanned on X."
