But seeing as you asked...........

The Kogan Creek power station cost $1.2 billion. ln 2007.

A tiny little 750mw.

New coal power stations are polluting – and expensive

Building new coal power stations is very expensive

The cost of energy from new coal power stations in Australia is more than double new wind and solar plants with storage.

It's just a furnace and a steam turbine.
