Clean coal misleading, says Greenpeace
Greenpeace argues Power Company HRL Limited's use of the term 'clean coal', is deliberately misleading and a potential breach of the Trade Practices Act.
The energy campaigner, Mark Wakeham, says the State Government's own data suggests a new station would increase Victoria's greenhouse emissions by more than 2 million tonnes each year.
"The ACCC wouldn't let tobacco companies get away with calling mild cigarettes healthy cigarettes, and they shouldn't be letting a company planning to build a polluting coal-fired power station get away with the term 'clean coal'," he said.
Greenpeace says it is acting on solid legal advice in making the claims.

Alberta Leads the Way in Agrivoltaics
Alberta is emerging as a leader in agrivoltaics—the innovative practice of integrating solar energy production with agricultural activities. This approach not only generates renewable energy but also enhances crop yields, conserves water, and supports sustainable farming practices. A notable example of this synergy is the Strathmore Solar project, a 41-megawatt solar farm located on 320 acres of leased industrial land owned by the Town of Strathmore. Operational since March 2022, it exemplifies how solar energy and agriculture can coexist and thrive together.
