    This technology needs to be exited. We can't rely on it. Unpredictable failures occurring more and more:

    Huge outage at Bayswater coal power station in NSW on Saturday, losing 660MW of capacity instantaneously, with another 660 MW already offline.

    Coal dependence is a huge reliability risk this summer

    Another big NSW coal outage -- 500MW instantaneously offline at Liddell Power Station on Oct 18 -- and the Gov want to extend Liddell for "reliability"
