	Description:		There's another big public fight happening about coal in Australia. It's had a multi million dollar, secretive PR push, and there's even talk of a new coal-fired power station in the Hunter Valley in New South Wales It's a submission from two Chinese companies, as part of a Government call for new power generation projects. So far the Government hasn't agreed to fund it, but they haven't ruled it out either, and some Nationals MPs are pushing for it to go ahead. So just how likely is it that we're getting a new coal-fired power plant?
