Coalition energy confusion is truly a sight to behold:
The architect of Malcolm Turnbull’s signature energy blueprint says there is no longer an investment case to build new coal-fired power stations in Australia because “the cost of coal is always going to be more than the cost of wind and sun”.
…Dr Schott said it was widely accepted in the energy sector that new coal plants could no longer compete with wind and solar, together with gas or pumped-hydro capacity to ensure “dispatchable” power.
