Counter opinion:
Hazelwood Power Station was decommissioned under the watch of a Liberal government.
The station was listed as the least carbon efficient power station in the OECD in a 2005 report by WWF Australia, making it one of the most polluting power stations in the world.[3] At 1.56 tonnes of CO2 for each megawatt hour of electricity, it was 50% more polluting than the average black coal power station in New South Wales or Queensland. Hazelwood emitted 14% of Victoria's annual greenhouse gas emissions and 3% of Australia's greenhouse gas emissions.

- tempestn 8y agoThat's a good thing, but it doesn't really counter the parent's point. It's going to take a lot more than closing one power plant to turn around global warming.
