Action of the Week

Here’s just some of the reasons why scientists and economists have publicly stated why the Hunter Gas Power Station should not go ahead.

• New gas peaking plants are not needed for our energy security
• The market already has commitments for battery storage to ensure energy security
• The transportation, processing and burning of gas in the Hunter will increase emissions and worsen the area’s dangerous levels of air pollution
• The cost of $600 million of taxpayers’ money is underestimated and is a waste of money
• The project’s ability to both deliver power when needed and lower electricity prices is overestimated because there are cheaper, cleaner and safer alternatives available
