Al Gore recently expressed surprise that there weren’t thousands of young people blocking bulldozers and preventing them from building new coal-fired power stations; this morning, I was part of team of 60 trying to do just that - shutting down a coal-fired power station at Kingsnorth in Kent where the owners want to build a brand new station. ...

If the proposed new power station goes ahead it will be the first coal-fired power station in the UK in 30 years - perhaps opening the floodgates to more. And it’s not as if there aren’t any alternatives - we should be investing instead in energy efficiency, renewable energy and decentralised energy. For example, the London Array offshore wind farm will provide energy for 750,000 homes.

If Gordon Brown allows this to happen how can he go to the UN climate negotiations in Bali this December and seriously ask China to curb its power station building programme?
