Queensland's Energy Plan Sparks Controversy
The Liberal National government's energy road map has been criticized for extending coal use for decades, potentially derailing Australia's climate goals.
Queensland Treasurer David Janetzki unveiled the five-year plan, which will keep coal-fired power plants open until at least 2046, abolishing the former Labor government's plan to phase out coal-fired power generators by 2035.
It's straight-up climate vandalism
State Greens MP Michael Berkman condemned the plan, saying it sets a course "back to the dark ages" and slams the brakes on the state's clean energy transition.
The plan may put pressure on federal emissions targets, prompting warnings from critics.
