'Clean coal' project is a personal endeavour not linked to lobby groups, founder says

Australian Power Project launched by former AGL spokesman, with assistance from former Malcolm Turnbull advisor, aims to give a voice to businesses 'crippled' by high energy costs

A 'clean coal' advocacy organisation which is opposed to higher renewable energy targets and seeks to give a voice for businesses "being crippled by massive gas and electricity bills" has been launched by a former spokesman for AGL, with apparent assistance from a former advisor to Malcolm Turnbull.

The Australian Power Project, which appears to have launched in late 2016, calls for businesses affected to share their stories and urges government to take a "middle road" in energy policy, and has been quoted in media reports.
