Power Station Sabbing
Dec. 12th, 2008 08:43 pmIs power-station saboteuring the new black?
If the government aren't willing or able to cut emissions, people who see sites like Kingsnorth and Drax as great evils will take matters into their own hands. The protest argument has been won, but the powers that be look to be speaking with forked agenda: plenty of declared commitment but the praxis seems to be lagging dangerously far behind. Hardly surprising then that the next thing to be done is direct shutdown action. Prediction: There will be more of this.
Mostly, though, this sab is a warning shot. What this says, very clearly, is that any construction of the new coal plant at Kingsnorth will not go unopposed.
