Joining the growing opposition to new coal in the UK is Notts Against New Coal (NANC).

From their blog:

"NANC oppose the opening of all new opencast mines, their extensions and coal-fired power stations in Nottinghamshire. We believe that climate change is a threat that is not being taken seriously by our government and we support the diversification of our energy sources, including the use of renewable energy."

The site features information about the group, and contact details and names of councillors to write to if you live in the Nottinghamshire area and want to oppose new coal.

There are now so many groups campaigning against the government's plans for a new generation of coal, we're going to have to create new pages on the website to feature them.

Find out more about NANC at their website at: http://nottsagainstnewcoal.wordpress.com we will also be publishing news from NANC in our coal news from the web feed.
