Know your NEM: Liddell plans could be washed away by Snowy 2.0
AGL’s plans for Liddell are vague and lacking, most likely because the company is waiting to see what the Coalition aims to do with Snowy Hydro.

Malcolm Turnbull
Turnbull’s abject capitulation to the coal lobby is now complete
The kindest thing to say about Turnbull’s absurd proposal to extend the life of the country’s oldest coal generator is that he is playing politics. There is no other reason to ask AGL to stick a bandaid on an increasingly unreliable coal generator on the basis it will lead to increased security and lower prices.
