No more coal-fired power stations will be built in Australia, Queensland provider CS Energy says

CS Energy chief Martin Moore says
they have no intention of building any new coal-fired power plants.
One of Australia's major electricity generators, CS Energy, has dismissed Malcolm Turnbull's call for the construction of new coal-fired power stations.

"It would surprise me greatly if there were ever any more coal-fired technology built in Australia," chief executive Martin Moore told 7.30.

He said his state government-owned company has "no intention" of building new, more efficient coal-fired plants.

The Prime Minister has been lobbying for ultra super-critical power stations to be built in Australia, arguing coal will remain a crucial part of the nation's energy mix.

Many of the new plants are being built in Asia.
