Smart Energy Council Chief Executive John Grimes says the Coalition needs coal “in the system” until nuclear can come online.
“This is actually a plan for coal,” he told Sky News Australia.
“Now the coal fleet in Australia is absolutely clapped out, falling apart, and so nobody’s investing in new coal … because there’s no return on investment.”

Good old coal, we would be totaly screwed without it. It supplies the base load that renewables never can
The left wing people here can follow me around all they want 😊 Never miss a glorious post and more of their "lives" spent on their superior opponents 💪
The intelligent man always wins 😊 Even if a left wing party wins, I get what I want as they're anti-Israel 😎
Coal and gas were always a part of the LNP's energy plan and will continue to be even after the introduction of nuclear generated electricity.
I’m keener on clean coal power stations than nuclear to be honest..CO2 isn’t a problem
Australia doesn't need any of them. Plenty of space in urban areas for solar. Plenty of roofs and carparks to cover.
Yes that’s what this is all about for the right wing. Sell out everyone, especially the young, if it please the 1% masters
Well blow me down, the coal lobby is donating to the Libs to stay for 20 more years before nuclear comes on line! The right wing are traitors to the people. The trolls on Sky are traitors to the people.
Coal is great and nothing wrong in using it. Man made climate change is a lie. Nuclear 100%.
"we don't have time" BS as usual
All if this is predicted on ‘…if he wins the next election…’
And of course he’s got buckleys
Grifter for wind and solar energy says nuclear aint needed. 😂
Nuclear is costly , coal is easy and cheaper , folks there is no world heating up the bottoms of the oceans are still cold , the water level on the statue of liberty hasn't moved up since it was erected .
It's all been a pumped up story to get people investing in something new , which they all pre-invested in .
Listing too is fella 🇦🇺
Let's keep coal like China and India does. Come on you LOOOPY ALP, Greens and Teal supporters that wants to cover all Australia in solar panels and wind turbines, you bunch of di-kheads
This man is a total fool no country world can survive on Solar and Wind. His words are all based on lies that renewables lie.
We won't stop mining but we are stopping using coal.. more for them to sell to china that way and we can foot the bill.
