WA government’s energy transition for Collie still unclear for workers and industry

As West Australians face going to the polls twice in the space of a few months, the historic coal mining town of Collie, sits at the centre of the energy transition debate. WA Labor has committed to shutting coal-fired power stations by 2030, but the WA Liberals are promising to keep doors open longer while they firm up gas power, and the Federal Coalition wants to go nuclear. The opposing political pitches have left the community feeling uncertain about their town’s future.
