There has been a big shift in power "plans" in recent months. Chris Bowen must have realised that there is no rush to invest in ruinables. Twiggy and cannon-Brookes are hanigng out for govt grants. If you invested in a power station and new solar comes along and politicians let solar grab the cream while you shut boilers; only to have to crank them up at 1600 hrs or if it's cloudy. The coal power plants are trapped - the crutch has been ripped out of the nightie no wonder they are announcing closure dates. The government does not have enough money to replace coal power and save the planet. What a surprise investors hold back as they spot the maniac gieam in Bowen's eyes.

its not the boilers furps, its the turbines breaking down due to lack of maintenance and age plus the cut-out that occurs when the ambient temperature exceeds 40+ deg. turbines at gas and coal plants cannot cope in high temperature environments.
