[lbo-talk] negawatts instead of megawatts

[James Heartfield]

Alan Rudy and Shane Mage seem reluctant to accept that environmental 
protestors wanted to shut down Britain's power stations. But the protestors 
themselves welcome the decision that the industry regulators assume will 
lead to £2000 utility bills.

Bibi Van Der Zee writes 'What a day, what a weekend, what a week for climate 
protesters! First E.ON gives up on building the proposed coal-fired power 
station at Kingsnorth.'

Emma Jackson, of the Camp for Climate Change, added: "E.On are finally 
recognising that the days of building new coal-fired power stations are 
over." http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/kent/8296975.stm

'Commenting on reports that E.ON has shelved plans to build a new 
coal-fired- power station at Kingsnorth, Friends of the Earth's Executive 
Director Andy Atkins said:

"We're delighted that E.ON has shelved its Kingsnorth plans - we should be 
investing in clean energy sources not building new dirty coal-fired power 
stations."'
