“Day for history books:” Hazelwood becomes first coal plant to transition to big battery

It's good to see projects like this being implimented. There is a lot of work still to be done in moving to cleaner fuels and every step like this gets us a bit closer.

I would like to see more investment in putting in place recycling/end of life processes for things like batteries, we don't have a great record in that area when we can't just send everything overseas. Hopefully that will come too, but I suspect we will end up playing catch-up with stockpiled batteries etc. at some point.
