Senator McALLISTER (New South Wales—Deputy Opposition Whip in the Senate) (14:12): My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for the Environment and Energy, Senator Birmingham. The Australian Academy of Technology and Engineering released a statement on Monday entitled, 'More coal-fired power stations would be a mistake', which said: New coal-fired power stations will not reduce the cost of electricity and will not aid efforts to reduce emissions. Is the academy correct?
