Even if Garnaut only delivers carbon-trading-lite the very fear of it may have prompted 'cleanish' coal. No word on whether the gas plant is single/combined cycle, load following or baseload. Better still, when are they going to blow up Hazelwood, one of the world's dirtiest power stations?
As with the LNG from CSM intended for furriners the more urgent domestic needs for gas (eg bus fuel, urea for farming) seem to be way down the priority list.
I think decommissioning Hazelwood is one thing we all agree on :-)
The gas situation really depends on how much CSM there is. If the top end estimates (around 250tcf) are correct, then we'll be gone by the time it runs out, even with LNG plants (assuming they don't build 100 of them of course).
I would sincerely hope that in 50 years time we will be completely off fossil fuels and the remaining gas and coal can be used only where stricly needed - fertilisers and some plastics (with biogas and bioplastic meeting much of the need anyway).
