If you want to build a new coal plant you have to think about what is going to happen to electricity prices over the next 20 or 30 years, because that is the time frame that you have to sell over to make back the cost of building the plant.

[Senior economist at The Australia Institute Matt Grudnoff writing in The Guardian, 14 June 2017]
