What is "psychiatry counselling".?
Link?
The Victorian Government has put money aside to counsel those workers who maybe psychologically affected by the closure of the coal mine and the power station.......I doubt if they would be affected if they all receive $330,000 redundancy pay......I would imagine those workers would be laughing all the way to the bank.

How much is the LIBERAL federal govt kicking in?
National Textiles anyone?
Why does the Liberal Federal Government have to kick in?......Kick in for what?
In my mind it is a dumb decision by the Victorian Government to shut down a power station that is producing some 25% of their needs.
Time will tell as to whether the decision will have a dramatic affect on SA.
You don't get it do you ?
It wasn't the Victorian government that decided to shut it down it was the owners of the station Engie, a French based company.
Try to understand the basics of this. The Kennett government sold off Hazelwood in 1996 and therefore relinquished any government control over when it will be shut down, but of course your "blame Labor for everything" circuit cut in and shut down your reasoning capacity.

I'm on holiday at the moment so won't say much now but suffice to say there's more to the story with Hazelwood than is generally being said in the media etc.
In short, some of the chooks have come home to roost it seems and there's more on the way.
More in a week or so.
I suspect the chooks that are coming home are the tens of thousands of ex employees who were exposed to asbestos at the power stations and are now dying in their hundreds. This has been overlooked/forgotten but it is certainly on record.

Your last post noco indicates that the umpires are from the same team. All just rubbish to maintain the oil coal and current power providers status quo.
Larger business is now having to install diesel generators as a back up and then producing more CO2 than coal fired power stations.
I remember the steam locos getting the boot because of the inefficiency of coal compared to diesel. I was also under the impression the same still applied to coal Vs diesel generation .... do you have anything to prove different?
UK is closing its coal fired plants by 2025, Canada 2030, Austria 2025, Belgium is almost there, in France seven of the 11 coal fireds were shutdown last year leaving 4 and EDF/Engel are shutting them as maintenance costs bite into profit. China consumes more coal than the rest of the world, but has a cap and trade coming in next year.
What's the go with coal and Mercury, Thorium, Radium and Radon?

Stream trains needed a lot more start up time to get steam up to the required pressure to operate.....It was a two man operation and coal had to be manually feed into the fire box.......Steam trains also had to stop at various points along the track to fill up with water as you are well aware you need water to make steam....The same thing applied to steam rollers on road construction.
On the other hand when diesel was used in diesel electric trains they were much easier to operate by one man.
The UK and Canada maybe closing certain out of date coal fired power station but both countries also have nuclear power plants.....The Uk has something like 28 nuclear plants in operation today.....France has some 70 nuclear power plants......But what about China?.....They are commissioning a new coal fired power station each week...I read recently where China manufacture something like 80% of the World's solar panels but only use about 5% themselves.
Efficiency as a technical measurement, that is energy in versus electricity out, is roughly the same for both coal-fired steam turbines and diesel engines. Which wins in any given situation depends on the climate, operating regime and so on since there's not much between them.

I'm guessing you are comparing conventional combustion engines to coal/steam turbines?
