A sad day. A massively inspiring figure who stood in front of Ed Milliband and threatened to give his OBE back to the Queen if Labour agreed for dirty coal at Kingsnorth to go ahead. That is a moment I'll never forget.
Go 4 mins in for the speech:
Green Party campaigner in Kent. Also a nurse, academic, former manager, writer, Druid, husband and father...

Coal no, nuke yes.
As reported by the BBC: "Energy firm E.On has pulled out of a competition to develop a power station with carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology at Kingsnorth in Kent." Hurray!
Sadly new nukes are on the horizon with taxpayers and many future generations having to pick up the costs. This from the Guardian: "The nuclear industry could end up passing on to taxpayers the costs of disposing of waste from new reactors under government plans, according to official documents seen by the Guardian."
They are not only crazy to think the nuclear is the way forward, their actions are going to affect future generations for hundreds of years. Utter madness - who put these people in charge?

Reckless power generation in Kingsnorth
Kingnorth is back in the news, this time after Reckless (the local MP) called for assurances about its future in parliament. As we know the Tories are easily the least green of the major parties so it is hardly a big surprise that they want this dirty, polluting coal power station built.

Climate campaigners win police payout
Apology accepted, now don't do it again.
From the Indy today, "Climate campaigners win police payout". Kingsnorth 2008:
"Police have agreed to compensate three people, including 13-year-old twins, who were unlawfully stopped and searched during a climate camp demonstration two years ago. Police also apologised to 3,500 activists who were stopped and searched at airport-style checkpoints during the demonstration."

Kingsnorth coal back on?
It looks like Eon are waking up again after their winter hibernation where they 'shelved' plans for a new coal fired power station at Kingsnorth. Plans have now been submitted for a pipeline to take the CO2 away so that it can be burried under the North Sea, and news in yesterday's Kent on Sunday was of a deal with the government to get 'tens of millions' to draw up plans for the technology. Sadly, it looks like Kingsnorth did not go away.
Carbon capture and storage is unproven. Building a new coal fired power station will ensure that more CO2 is released each year than Ghana. Adding CCS may reduce the CO2 emissions in the medium term if it works, but it still be pumping massive amounts into the atmosphere to start with and even if / when it is working it will only capture 90% of the CO2. While 90% is a significant proportion from a technical point of view, it still leaves the power station responsible for an equivalent of 10% of the CO2 emissions that Ghana produces.
Ignoring the years of testing where 100% of CO2 will be emitted, ignoring the embodied energy in the plant, it is still clear that this is an unviable and overly expensive way of meeting the energy gap. The tens of millions of pounds could be much better spend on efficiency and renewable energy. Remember, coal is not renewable and while it won't run out in our lifetime, it will run out. Renewable energy is, er... renewable.

Kent police broke the law
I was one of the thousands of people stopped and searched at Kingsnorth in 2008 when police decided that everyone going to the Climate Camp was carrying a weapon or something that might be used for criminal damage.
"Under Section 1 of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 police must have a "reasonable suspicion" that an individual is carrying prohibited weapons or articles that could be used for criminal damage."
In the opinion of the police, the crayons and toilet roll that were confiscated were banned items rather than things for kid to draw with and to er... wipe arses with. They searched food that had to be carried to the camp.
The only violence during the whole week was from the police. The protesters' behaviour was impeccable. The police should be ashamed of themselves.

Good news at last!
Eon have shelved plans for a new coal fired power station at Kingsnorth!!!
They have put the scheme off for 3 years alledgely due to low electricity demand during the recession. My congratulations to all the camapigners involved involved in winning this battle and especially my friends at KCAM!

Mili-Band
Email from the Campaign against Climate Change:
Join the Mili-Band
Saturday 4th July 2009,
No New Coal at Kingsnorth !
No New Coal without 100% CCS from the start !
Details at www.campaigncc.org/kingsnorth.shtml and below :
Climate Change Secretary Ed Miliband has invited people to mobilise to demand action on climate change so we are doing just that. On Saturday July 4, thousands of people will come together to form what is being called "the Mili-band" which will be a human chain surrounding Kingsnorth power station in Kent, to renew our demand that no new coal-fired power plant is built here unless it has CCCS working at 100% (or very close) from the start.
Campaign against Climate Change supporters will be meeting at 9.00 -9.15 am at Victoria Station to take the train to Rochester where there will be a shuttle service to join the Miliband at Kingsnorth
After the 'Miliband' itself there will be a big summer fete, with stalls, music and plenty to do for kids - as well as some great speakers. So this will be a family-friendly, fun, event. So bring your family, your friends etc... not to forget outdoor gear (appropriate to the weather), some water and a picnic if you fancy, though there should be some food available
The timetable for the day looks like this :
| 9.30-11am | Shuttle buses ferry people from Rochester station to the event centre |
| 10-12am | Assembly on site and registration |
| 12-1pm | Groups set off to take up their positions in the Mili-band |
| 1.30pm | Photographs and video of the Mili-band |
| 2pm | Finish and return to events centre |
| 2.30pm | Live music on stage |
| 3.00 | Summer fête starts |
| 3pm-5pm | Shuttle buses return people to Rochester station |
If you have to come by car you need to park in Rochester and get the shuttle bus because there is no on-site parking for private cars at Kingsnorth For any group hiring their own minibus, please arrive at the Kingsnorth holding site no later than 11.30 (maps available soon). Parking for minibuses must be arranged either by contacting Will Tucker on 0121 634 3611, or emailing him at wtucker@oxfam.org.uk
If you are coming from outside London coaches are being organised by Oxfam from : Birmingham (8am), Bristol (8am), Cardiff (7.30am), Coventry (8am ) and Oxford (9am). You can book a coach place on the Oxfam website here The suggested donation for the return coach journey is £10 per person. Coaches will arrive at Kingsnorth between 10.30am and 11.30am and leave at 4pm.
Remember that this is to show Ed Miliband - and the national media - that the UK won't be able to show real leadership at Copenhagen in December if we are building new coal fired power stations at home.

More criminals in Kent
More amazing revelations from the policing of the climate camp today. The police spied on local magistrate and chair of CPRE Kent, Richard Know Johnson... Clearly a hardened criminal that needs locking up?
From the BBC: 'Allyn Thomas, Assistant Chief Constable of Kent Police, defended the force's strategy: "Because we know people feel very strongly about these environmental concerns, there is the possibility that there will be some outburst, whether it's just unpleasantness or criminality. "'
So now the police are cracking down on unpleasantness, so perhaps they ought to arrest Nigel Farage for his party political broadcast? Along with telling poorer nations that the UK is nice and rich and is not prepared to support anyone else and that they can all get lost 'cause they are theiving foreigners, I think he started to talk about fraud and the EU.
I must say I was a bit switched off with his xenophobic clap trap at that stage so I missed bits but I suggest that UKIP ought to look to their own record on fraud:
Tom Wise MEP... £40k of public funds - still waiting to go to court I think.
Ashley Mote MEP... convicted of 21 charges of fraud.
Impressive, only 2 out of 12 MEPs.

Glimmer is not good enough
I'm puzzled by Greenpeace's apparent welcome on Ed Milliband's decision to build coal power stations with only 25% carbon capture. Milliband has given the go ahead for up to four experimental plants that:
1. will emit more CO2 than current gas powered ones
2. will create electricity from a source that will run out, i.e. is not renewable
3. divert funds and effort from building renewable power and reducing energy consumption
4. will only have full carbon capture fitted if it works
5. are unlikely to be decommissioned if CCS doesn't work.
He is talking about two different types of CCS and we can only assume that one version might work or might work better than the other which is why there are to be two types of power station. So if one works will the other just continue as dirty coal? Will it be retro fitted with the other type? What if both types don't work? I can't see them being decommissioned.
So why are Greenpeace seemingly backing Milliband's decision? Their suggestion that he is showing a 'glimmer of leadership' may be true, but what the world needs is a bit more of a glimmer, we need a dazzling bright light.
If the government can spend hundreds of billions on buying banks, it can also spend enough to make the UK low consumption and renewable.

Government in bed with EON
More revelations about the policing of Kingsnorth in today's Grauniad. Apparently the police handed documents to EON:
Government and the police need to serve the people in this country and uphold the law, not continue to break it at the behest of big business and the gods of economic growth.
• BERR officials passed a strategy document belonging to the "environmental protest community" to E.ON, saying: "If you haven't seen this then you will be interested in its contents."
• Government officials forwarded a Metropolitan police intelligence document to E.ON, detailing the movements and whereabouts of climate protesters in the run-up to demonstration.
The collusion between DBERR, the police and the private energy company is appalling - but almost unsurprising. That DBERR could colude so blatantly with EON demonstrates the government's aim to send society and the planet to hell in a handcart.Government and the police need to serve the people in this country and uphold the law, not continue to break it at the behest of big business and the gods of economic growth.

EON pushes ahead with Kingsnorth work
Looks like EON are pressing ahead with their work on Kingsnorth (see Kent on Sunday). They are planning a pipe line to take CO2 from the power station to bury in an oil field in the North Sea.
It would be much more efficient to use cheaper tried and tested technology such as wind rather than trying to build the world's first commercial carbon capture coal power station and hope that it works.
Why do companies favour limited, unrenewable resources over limitless wind?
Anyway, good coverage in the KoS.

Not Stupid
It was great to attend the premiere of The Age of Stupid last night and to see Ed Milliband squirming as the hypocrisy of Labour's record on climate change was unpicked. Of course the Climate Change Act is ground breaking, but actions speak far louder than words and the actions to expand airports, build more roads, bail out the car industry rather than invest in renewables and public transport are damining.
Pete Postlethwaite, who stars in the film, gave a particularly emotional speech at the end and declared that if Labour built dirty coal Kingsnorth, he would be handing back his OBE. Milliband was visibly shaken.
The film was great too!
Set in 2055, the archivist is the last man alive after the ravages of climate change have destroyed most life on the planet. He is reviewing footage showing just how stupid we were and how we failed to act despite the increasing climate catastrophies around us.
The footage included a nimby campaign against a wind farm with a woman suggesting that tackling climate change is important, but we mustn't spoil the view.
This film should be seen by everyone.

Climate news
Slowly, slowly we edge forward.
Yesterday, news that Sheppey is to get four wind turbines should be welcomed - but we need 40 or 400 or 40,000... (obviously not all on the Isle of Sheppey!)
The Arctic sea ice is melting so fast that shipping companies are looking at new trade routes opening up in a few short years. Scary stuff, sea levels won't be massively affected by arctic ice melts as it is already in the sea (think ice cube melting in glass of water), but the implications for the speed of melt of land ice, such as Greenland and Antarctica are massive.
Meanwhile a local government in Kent seems happy to waste cash on designer street lighting such as these, rather than tackling energy.
Finally, Leila Deen has thrown green custard in Mandleson's face. Normally I would condemn this as a step too far, direct action should be non-violent after all, but then he wasn't exactly hurt and it was Mandy... I do applaud him for not having a body guard though. The third runway at Heathrow and Kingsnorth are the front lines of climate change campaigning in the UK.

Weapons of mass ridicule
More information from Kent Police's approach to crime prevention in today's Observer. The list of items confiscated by the police in the name of preventing crimes has been revealed. Apparently the following are criminal weapons:
This is my favourite bit:
Kent's assistant chief constable, Allyn Thomas, defended the actions: "By seizing items which could be used to commit a crime, we were able to ensure criminal acts were not carried out and more importantly no one was injured by some of the items which potentially could have been used to harm others."
Mr Thomas, you need to get another job - you are clearly not cut out for serious police work.
- packets of balloon
- tents
- a clown's outfit
- camping equipment
- cycle helmets and bike locks
- plastic buckets
- bin bags
- blankets
- soap
- banners and leaflets
- books
- party poppers
- nail clippers

41
The solistice and my 41st year are now both over. While electoral success has eluded me, the rest of the year has been very eventful:
I managed to be in breach of the Serious Organised Crime and Police Act while demonstrating against NHS privatisation (the rozzers were quite pleasant about it and let us carry on for half an hour before asking us to stop).
They were less pleasant during the climate camp week. A two hour wait to be searched in Kingsnorth was un-called for. Tapping my phone conversations prior to a demo outside Allington was equally bizarre. The £5.7 million has meant that police services will be cut in Kent. Clearly the climate campers were a dangerous lot - 12 police injuries, four from direct contact with protesters (hardly surprising given the way the police charged the camp), eight from wasp stings, sun stroke and the like. Also in 2008, the Kingsnorth Six got aquitted only to have the government now trying to appeal. Importantly, 2008 was the year that the climate frontier came to Kent and it looks set to stay too.
A highlight was getting published in the Internation Journal of Cuban Studies (a piece on peak oil and health care).
The campaign for ethical investments at KCC scored a victory with their adoption of the UN's Principles of Responsible Investment.
Here's to a busy and exciting 42nd year!

Letter to KM on Climate Camp
Letter sent to the KM in response to this week's climate camp revalations:
Dear Editor,
Complaints by the Chief Constable and Chair of Kent Police that services will have to be cut after the force over policed the Kingsnorth Climate Camp are hardly surprising. As one of the people who spent two hours waiting to be searched by the massive police presence it seemed to me that the ridiculously large police presence was either grossly misjudged or designed to frustrate a legitimate protest.
The right to peaceful protest is enshrined in law and the camp was extremely peaceful and well organised. The minister for policing has had to apologise for misleading the public after he claimed 70 officers were injured. In fact 12 were injured and only four minor injuries resulted from contact with protesters - the rest were wasp stings and the like.
It is time for the Chief Constable to stand down. He has led his force into the worst demonstration of political policing Kent has seen, and by vastly overspending he has put the people of Kent at unnecessary risk through cuts in services.

Widdecombe defeated!
More happening at Kingsnorth this weekend. Kingsnorth is really becoming the front line in the battle against runaway climate change. This comes on the back of the good news with the climate change bill which gained royal assent yesterday despite the attempts by our local climate denying MP, Ann Widdecombe.
Of course there now needs to be real action to actually reduce our CO2 emissions. This means not building runways and road. It means retrofitting our homes with the best possible insulation. It means sorting out our transport. It means working, buying and playing local. It means focussing on building communities.
Sadly I don't see much hope of this from the grey parties at present.

Googlebombing Eon and nonewcoal
Been unable to blog for a few days, too busy opening companies, buying houses and perfecting pumpkin soup...
E.On / Eon are back in the news again after the recent meeting on Kingsnorth, meanwhile there is a campaign to googlebomb Eon. I suspect this will increase my extremist ranking a bit further, but ho-hum. The explanation is below:
They've been the targets of all kinds of action, from last summer's Camp for Climate Action, to a series of smaller action on April 1st (Fossil Fools Day), to a wave of recruitment fair actions, with more action coming up at the end of this month.
One easy, comfy action can happen from this computer you're looking at. The tactic is called google-bombing.
The more links to a site, the higher it climbs in Google rankings. So, if enough people make the word 'Eon' link to the No New Coal site, pretty soon it'll top the list of anyone searching for Eon. (This tactic was successfully used a few years ago to make 'swivel-eyed loons' link to UKIP).
Two weeks ago www.nonewcoal.org.uk wasn't in the top 50 sites when searching for Eon. As I write this it's already number 13.
So a simple online action can help us get our electronic placards in their face without getting out on the cold winter streets.
If you have a website, blog, myspace, bebo, forum account, etc then please place a link to http://www.nonewcoal.org.uk.
Ideally you write 'eon' and place a hyperlink to http://www.nonewcoal.org.uk from that text.
Anyone can do this! Blog comments/forums are easiest. Good websites are most effective.
If you're wondering what else to write, you could copy or edit this.
To get a top 10 google ranking probably won't be to hard, but to pip E.ON to the top will require a lot of effort so tell your friends, consider putting this simple action in your newsletters, spread the word online...
