I know some of the people who kept Hazelwood alive years past its planned end of life date; the story is not only ugly, it's scandalous.

For example, the way the plant operated changed aka the VW diesel engine scandal. As for the impact on those living in 'The Valley' [one of my uncles died from coal related lung disease], asbestos, the Morwell open pit fire, the Latrobe River breach into the Yallourn open cut mine, the collapse of the Princes Hwy near Morwell, workers' health, government subsidies, Kennett's deal with plant operators, the costs of subsequent remediation works …. it's truly a sickening story!

The costs of essential remedial work to resurrect Hazelwood would have been a case of chucking $Even $More $Billions of taxpayers' money at an incredibly bad commercial operation - no less than gross stupidity.
