Ok so... doomsday specialists are predicting doom only now because it's closing.
Â
But they should've been predicting doom when the plant was privatised by the Liberal Govt 20 years ago.
Â
Unless Victorians were prepared to pay more for their power the station would close because its owners declared it non viable.
Â
That's what happens when Govts privatise assets and it's why I don't usually support it
Â
In this case, Andrews didn't shut down Hazelwood, Kennett did... by proxy.
