- description: Melbourne's explosive secret about to erupt, as the world's largest water bills are sent to millions on behalf of French giant GDF Suez the Company that owns Hazelwood and is Australia's largest brown coal polluter. The people of Melbourne are now expected to pay for Suez's folly, its vision of itself as the worlds biggest desalination operator. The plants trial was not successful as it did not meet the meet EPA requirements during the trial as large quantities of hyper saline emissions Many believe strong grounds exist to demand Suez complete a successful trial that will does not harm the environment and fulfil its promise to create wind farms to provide the 96 megawatts an hour it consumes. Restarting the Wonthaggi plant at the moment adds yet another nightmarish element to GDF Suez's loss making desalination plant in Wonthaggi (Melbourne). It failed the very first time it was used and in desperation management deliberately damaged its ocean surrounds so it would receive its first payment from Melbourne to keep the plant alive, as the French energy business bosses made unachievable demand that the plant be ready in December, Financial problems have plagued the plant and Suez representatives' desperately refinanced its high interest AUD$3.7bn bank debt as pressure to pay AUD$1bn for cost overruns AND a desperate intercompany loan of $700m @ 17.2% that was needed just to get the plant commissioned that was largely funded by a very unusual bond raising by Belgium's richest man. Meanwhile in New York State over 30 groups are 5 years into battle against Suez' plan to desalinate waste water from aged nuclear plant for drinking purposes, Melbourne shows them what they can look forward to if they fail in their bid to keep their drinking water affordable and safe.
