Join Friends of the Earth in stopping the proposed HRL coal fire power station and help bring about a moratorium on new coal stations...
The Labor government claims it wants to do something about climate change – yet continues to fund and support new coal fired power stations across Australia.
To stop global warming we need kick the coal habit and have a
moratorium on new coal power stations in Australia. In Victoria's
Latrobe Valley the proposed HRL coal power station has received $150
million in taxpayers money through
state and federal government grants.
HRL will, if allowed to go ahead, emit more than 2.5 million tonnes of CO2 a year, yet is being promoted as so-called 'clean coal' by the government.
Join Friends of the Earth in stopping the proposed HRL coal fire
power station and help bring about a moratorium on new coal stations
that will pave the way for a just transition to a renewable energy
future.
