Talk:Hazelwood Power Station

message: The Age newspaper reported prior to the approval of the 2005 expansion: 
:An expansion would see the relocation of the Strzelecki Highway, a smaller road, the Morwell River, two creeks, 11 families, a cattery, dog kennels, 155 trees of a nationally threatened gum species and the town of Driffield so that Hazelwood can access 92 million tonnes of brown coal. (emphasis added)
Does anyone know what species is being referred to, or have any further references? —Pengo 02:50, 7 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Tasmanian blue (Eucalyptus globulus), mountain grey (Eucalyptus cypellocarpa, Eucalyptus goniocalyx) and manna gum (Eucalyptus viminalis, Eucalyptus mannifera), messmate (Eucalyptus obliqua), tree ferns and orchids, including the rare butterfly orchid. 
None of the gum species are listed on EPBC Act List of Threatened Flora. Possibly it refers to the subspecies Eucalyptus globulus ssp. pseudoglobulus, which is rare. 
With regards to the environmentalists statements about the plant being the worst in the developed world, it there any international perspectives on this? I mean, the organisations being cited are the local, Australia, branches. I'd be willing to bet that each country branch has a similar story of woe about one of the power stations in their own country which they can show is the worst in the world.Frade 12:58, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

message: "The Australian government is a firm supporter of technology-based solutions to greenhouse gas emissions rather than the punitive regime imposed by Kyoto-style caps and targets"
This sounds like Howard government anti-Kyoto rhetoric and as such is political POV, and no reference is provided.  I think this sentence should be removed.  Peter Campbell 09:12, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree it should be removed. I wouldn't call it POV, but without a reference to give it a context (like who said what when) it's completely meaningless. It would be good if there were replaced with some mention of the government's stance (like that they recently admitted that human-caused climate change exists in a push for nuclear power) or the like. —Pengo 16:00, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I removed the sentence. It should be replaced with cited Victorian and Federal government positions on Kyoto and climate change.  Note that the preceding sentence on "Australia being on target to meet Kyoto targets" is also suspect.  --Peter Campbell 23:08, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

message: The reason for its high carbon intensity isn't really explained in the article. I presume the use of brown coal is one reason and perhaps the fact it's a fairly old (1964) plant however this is just a guess and some discussion of why it has such a high carbon intensity would be interesting given that the controversy surrounding that is extensively discussed.

message: A lot of talk about sources not being provided for claims about how dirty it is, yet the line about the WWF report being discredited has no source itself.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by IkaInk (talk • contribs) 05:48, 20 April 2012 (UTC)

message: The mine at Hazelwood has been burning since 9 February with a fire now reported to be across a face 6000m long and 1000m wide which is developing into a serious environmental disaster. Premier says no need to relocate Morwell residents as authorities warn of another day of fire danger, Infra-red image of Hazelwood fire. Victorian authorities have so far issued 25,000 masks to residents in the area. Fire fighters and residents have reportedly suffered carbon monoxide poisoning with 20 fire fighters treated. This will most likely develop into a very noteworthy event in the life of this power station.     Djapa Owen (talk) 14:24, 24 February 2014 (UTC)

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.

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.
