The Queensland Conservation Council called into 4BC Drive after Gary Hardgrave's comments about Australia's coal usage.

Dave Copeland said on 4BC Drive, "You had a bit of a spray earlier. I think it's important to set the record straight."

"Extending the life of Callide B is going to cost Queenslanders a fortune," Mr Copeland continued. 

"Isn't coal more coal-fired power stations the key to getting cheap power for Queenslanders?" Gary replied.
