Is this power station not solar boosted?
I wonder if wikipedia has a list of world wide solar boosted fossil fuel power plants — Preceding unsigned comment added by Podraigporridge (talk • contribs) 12:48, 21 March 2011 (UTC)
I intend to insert this paragraph which is a slightly amended version of the paragraph deleted previously:
CARMA estimates this power station emits 4.33 million tonnes of greenhouse gases each year[1] as a result of burning coal. Greenhouse gases are responsible for climate change and global warming. The IPCC says that developed countries should reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 25 to 40% by 2020 and by 80 to 95% by 2050. [2]. The Australian government has announced a target for reduction of greenhouse gas emissions of 60% from 2000 levels by 2050.[3] because of the harmful effects of global warming on Australia. The Australian Government has announced the introduction of a Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme commencing in 2010 which is expected to impact on emissions from coal fired power stations over the medium term.
CARMA is a reliable source for an estimate of greenhouse gas emissions. To the best of my knowledge it is the body with the most experience in estimating such emissions world wide. It is not a lobbying organisation and would lose it's tax deductible status in the US if it were to lobby according to representatives of CARMA. It is an initiative of an independent think tank in US that is sufficiently credible to have tax deductible status. While the estimates have been subject to some criticisms, they are the best estimates I have been able to find. For more detail on CARMA and its methodology see: http://carma.org/blog/about/
The second sentence stands on its own and is referenced by reliable sources.
The third sentence stands on its own and is referenced by reliable sources.
The fourth sentence also stands by itself and is referenced to a Wikipedia article referenced to Australian government sources.
There is a consensus on the Scientific opinion on climate change among national and international scientific bodies. All developed countries other than the US have signed the Kyoto Protocol recognising the importance of Greenhouse gas emissions: List of Kyoto Protocol signatories
A similar edit to that intended here will also be relevant to other articles on coal fired power stations in Australia dinghy (talk) 20:34, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
Lets look at the suggested edit, firstly remove commentary that isnt relevant:
CARMA estimates this power station emits 4.33 million tonnes of greenhouse gases each year[4] as a result of burning coal. Greenhouse gases are responsible for climate change and global warming. The IPCC says that developed countries should reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 25 to 40% by 2020 and by 80 to 95% by 2050. [5]. The Australian government has announced a target for reduction of greenhouse gas emissions of 60% from 2000 levels by 2050.[6] because of the harmful effects of global warming on Australia. The Australian Government has announced the introduction of a Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme commencing in 2010 which is expected to impact on emissions from coal fired power stations over the medium term.
That leaves us with after slight rewording:
CARMA estimates this power station emits 4.33 million tonnes of greenhouse gases each year as a result of burning coal, greenhouse gases are responsible for climate change.[7] The Australian Government has announced the introduction of a Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme commencing in 2010 which is expected to impact on emissions from power stations.
The next point is sourcing why would we use a lobby groups estimates when there are reliable publications from Australian Government sources readily available: National Pollutant Inventory, dept of Climate change Greenhouse Gas emission Monitoring. Gnangarra 03:06, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
This is easy - credit CAMRA with raising the issue, but state that the amount of CO2 emitted by this station as a fact based directly on the amount of coal it uses (one ton coal = 44/12 or 3.67 tons CO2 if my maths is right and it's burning anthracite, a bit less CO2 if burning "dirty" coal).

Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request its removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.
Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:
