Michael,
I was very surprised to hear you on 774 radio on Monday 11/7 advocating the continued burning of Victoria's brown coal as the energy source for our future. We need to transition form coal to renewable energy over the next two decades to reduce our very high carbon emissions associated with stationary energy.
A transition to gas is not desirable either - as it is just another fossil fuel.
Spending public money on CCS is not justified either - the technology is unproven and will be very expensive.
We need to invest in 100% renewable energy technologies that are available now - such as concentrated solar energy with molten salt storage, and wind power.
Regards,
Peter Campbell
