My photo of the boy with goggles and flippers (DSCN 1349 Yakshideva), was taken at the edge of Hazelwood Pondage. This pondage is used by Hazelwood coal fired power station to store the water that is used in their cooling towers. The pondage regularly has blue-green algae in it, and most locals would NOT swim in it. Hazelwood is the only one that has a cooling pondage. In this weeks Latrobe Valley Express, it's claimed that the ALP have a timeline for closures of power stations in the LV, beginning with Hazelwood in 2013, to be followed by Yallourn a few years after. This can only be good for the planet.
