Western Australia approves 50-year extension for Woodside's gas plant, facing environmental opposition.

The Western Australian government has approved a 50-year extension for Woodside's North West Shelf gas plant, ending a six-year approval process. The project, operational since 1984, will now continue until 2070, subject to conditions like regular emission reviews and consultations with local traditional owners. Despite economic benefits, environmental groups oppose the extension due to expected greenhouse gas emissions.
