shut down the anglEsea power station
Anglesea power station creates more sulphur pollution than every car, bus and truck in Melbourne. Originally part of the subsidised electricity Victoria supplied to Alcoa, this plant supplied power to the Point Henry Aluminium smelter which is now closing down.
The fear is it will be now sold to some business interest to continue its polluting life for another 50 years.
