Some new form of madness must surely have taken hold when we're being asked to ponder whether or not the Clean Energy Finance Corporation should fund "clean coal", or cleaner coal, power stations. Seriously? Is this a trick question?
It's hard to imagine, even a year ago, that the matter would have been worthy of serious consideration, but to quote South Australian Premier Jay Weatherill, "When 'clean' has its meaning expanded to include 'coal', you realise how busted national electricity policy truly is". Yep, plain speaking is indeed in short supply.
Read Sarah Gill’s comment in today’s Melbourne Age - “Why can't the government understand there's no such thing as clean coal?”
