A Chinese energy company has partnered with a little-known Australian company on a proposal for two coal-fired power plants in the Hunter Valley.

The Greens have warned a proposal to build two new coal-fired power plants in New South Wales will face a"mountain of opposition".

The controversial proposal comes after the Coalition government announced a series of policies to cut emissions as it defends its record on climate change action. Greens MP Adam Bandt said after enduring the hottest summer on record, Australians would fight to stop it. "We’ll work with the community to build a mountain of opposition to prevent these plants from ever seeing the light of day."But Liberal backbencher Craig Kelly endorsed the proposal, telling the ABC it was"fantastic" and urging Prime Minister Scott Morrison to provide taxpayer subsidies to ensure it goes ahead.

I reckon it might be Hell no! If it's such a good idea, Craig Kelly can subsidise it himself with his healthy pension after he's booted out. It’s funny how CraigKellyMP is asking for the tax payer to underwrite this god awful project. And yet, when it comes to Renewables, this guy is silent. I mean, this guy shouldn’t even be in Parliament...one word, preselection 😉
