Dan Tehan claims new coal plants would “drive down emissions” – but they won’t
Dan Tehan has been asked on the ABC’s Insiders program if a Liberal government would support building now coal-fired power plants.
Responding to questions from host Davis Speers on new coal-fired power, Tehan said:
Well, if there is a want from the private sector to invest in that, then there is no reason why we shouldn’t do that, because David, and let me finish. It’s a very important point. The new technology drives down emissions, compared to the existing.
It’s a no – we are Coalition Liberal party-National party. It is not even being talked about.
