Plenty of coal-fired power plants ‘have a long time to live’

Plenty of Australia’s coal-fired power plants “have a long time to live,” says Centre for Independent Studies’ Aidan Morrison. Mr Morrison joined Sky News Australia to discuss the future of energy in the country. “It’s been commonly said that our coal power stations are sort of old and falling apart,” he said. “I think it’s overexaggerated. “Plenty of coal plants actually have a long time to live and if they were to live to their sort of natural and expected lives, some of those would still be going in the late 2040s up to around 2050.”
