新南威爾斯州綠能新計畫
Introduction
The NSW Coalition party has a new plan for green energy. They want to change where they build wind and solar power. They no longer agree with the Labor government.
新南威爾斯州的聯盟黨有一個綠能新計畫。他們希望改變風能與太陽能的建設地點,不再同意工黨政府的方案。
Main Body
The Coalition wants to stop a big power line project in New England. They say this project costs too much money and is too slow. They want to build solar panels and batteries in Sydney, Newcastle, and Wollongong instead. They also want a new energy zone near Broken Hill.

Some people in the country do not like green energy. The Coalition wants these people to be happy. They want to keep the green energy projects in the cities. This helps the politicians win more votes.
