Senator MADIGAN (Victoria) (14:48): My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Resources and Energy, Senator Sherry. Is the minister aware that during the 1990s the former State Electricity Commission of Victoria, as a partner in Herman Research Laboratories, developed a coal gasification process that is 40 per cent more efficient, significantly reduces emissions and was proposed to be deployed in a replacement power station and to retrofit existing power stations in the Latrobe Valley?
