Inside Hazelwood Power Station And Mine As Closure Date Looms

MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA - MARCH 16: A truck is loaded with old coal on March 16, 2017 in Melbourne, Australia. In November 2016, French owners of the Hazelwood Power Station, Engie, announced plans to shut the brown coal fuelled power station, citing lack of commercial viability and environmental reasons. The short notice given to the hundreds of workers who are set lose their jobs has drawn widespread criticism of the plant owners and the State Government from the Latrobe Valley community. The Hazelwood Power Station has been in operation alongside the Hazelwood coal mine for 52 years and will close on 31 March 2017. Hazelwood is regarded as one of the dirtiest coal plants in Australia. (Photo by Robert Cianflone/Getty Images)
