Climate Change Luddites Seek to Shut Down New Coal-Fired Plant

Apparently these know-nothings would prefer we all live back in the stone age, a place where their warped ideology resides.

Why the media insists on giving these idiots attention is beyond me. They desperately need psychiatric evaluation, if anything.

They sure do know how to play the fear card, though.

Climate change activists have threatened to break the law as they gather this weekend for a week-long protest camp at the proposed site of a new coal-fired power station.

The protesters aim to shut down the coal-fired plant already in operation on the site at Kingsnorth, Kent, and block the construction of the new £1.5 billion facility.

The new power station would be the first coal-fired plant in the UK for more than 30 years and owners E.ON say it will be cleaner than the facility it is replacing.

But opponents, including the former Government chief scientist Professor Sir David King, say that no new power stations burning coal should be permitted unless they are fitted with carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology which prevents the release into the atmosphere of carbon dioxide (CO2), one of the main greenhouse gases blamed for global warming.

Patrick Gillett, a protester taking part at Climate Camp, told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme this morning: “It is about direct action outside the camp. We will break the law or do whatever needs to take place to stop E.ON peacefully from profiting from climate change. Last year they made £4.2 billion in profit from creating climate change.

“We are planning to shut the coal-fired power station down and we are planning to come back when they create a new coal-fired power station, because we are the last generation that can do it and if we don’t then there is no future for any of us.”

Not much future for your either walking around with your head up your ass.
