Why are so many coal-fired power stations being built around the world then? Remove all regulations and subsidies on coal and renewables and then see what's cheaper. Then let the free market choose a power supply. Renewables would be gone in a day.

Even the Minerals Council of Australia cites a report explaining that coal-fired power stations are too costly, inefficient and inflexible. You may as well burn your money...pic.twitter.com/SpROkDhtK1

When virtue-signalling governments place so many green regulations on coal-fired stations, of course they'll be expensive.

Coal-fired power stations are uneconomic everywhere, not just Australia. The coal industry wasted decades grooming politicians for political favours while competitors enhanced their technology.pic.twitter.com/5SCHBVMn7f

I'm glad you posted the gas comparisons. Fossil fuels have a big role to play in energy security. If we had gas and coal working to their full potential - free from green shackles - while renewable technology was given time to improve, we'll do well.

It's a common mistake to confuse one type of fuel with a technology that converts a fuel to electricity. Gas power plants running on gas made from renewable energy always outperform coal-fired power stations. Sustainable technologies: power-to-gas https://youtu.be/OVuD9VoeLYE

The coal industry might like to blame 'green shackles' for its falling commercial viability. It was the coal industry that made a deliberate marketing decision to opt for lower efficiency technology, hoping demand would be increased. https://blog.gerbilnow.com/2011/08/get-carbon-technology-right.html …

Well great now we don't have to waste money subsidising renewables, the wind and sun have become 100% reliable. Mean while back in the real world...

No wonder companies like Tomago Aluminium are going to pull the pin and go offshore because of these clowns that we have to pay for
