The Greens say a veritable army is ready to thwart plans for a new Chinese-backed, coal-fired power plant in New South Wales, while the Coalition says it's exactly what the market needs.

Chinese-backed plans to build a massive new coal-fired power plant in New South Wales are reopening hostilities in the so-called climate wars.

"This is exactly what the market needs," Mr Kelly said, adding competition from the new plant would lower power prices. "If the Government needs to underwrite it, if it needs a little bit of help, then that's what we should be doing.""It will make the Franklin Dam campaign look like a Sunday picnic," Mr Bandt said, referring to the successful movement in 1983 to stop a dam being built in the remote Tasmanian wilderness.

"We just had our hottest summer on record. If Labor or Liberal [parties] give this project the tick of approval then you will see civil disobedience in Australia on a scale never seen before."
