Take action!
Join with the thousands of people who have objected to the proposed coal-fired power station at Kingsnorth, and say no to new coal power. Campaigners in Europe and the USA have been successful in resisting new coal power, now you can help stop the UK from making the mistake of going for coal.
Act now!
Write to Ed Miliband - the minister in charge of the government's new Energy and Climate change department.Tell Ed Miliband what you would do to stop the government building a new power station at Kingsnorth as part of the Big IF at www.theBigIF.org
Give coal the boot! join Greenpeace's campaign against new coal, and put your bootprint on the UK map on Greenpeace's website. Respond to the Government's energy announcement and stop dirty coal! The government announced today that they will not rule out new dirty coal in the IK. New coal power stations will be allowed to go ahead with only a fraction of their emissions subject to carbon capture and storage (CCS), a technology which is still unproven in this context. Tell Ed Milliband that this isn't good enough.
Help Hunterston go the way of Kingsnorth. While plans for a new 1.6GW coal-fired power station at Kingsnorth in Kent were shelved recently, a power station of a similar size is proposed at Hunterston in Ayrshire. If it goes ahead, the greenhouse gas emissions from this plant alone will be seven times that of the whole of Malawi. Write to your MSP telling them to scrap plans for new dirty coal-fired power stations in Scotland.
