MORE PROPAGANDA TO STOP NEW COAL POWER STATION

The World Development Movement (WDM - yet another well funded NGO which hardly anyone has heard of!) is holding a demonstration today at the Kingsnorth power station to protest against the proposal to build a new coal-fired power station on the site. You can read the claims they are making here. They are based on nothing more than guesswork using data which is itself completely unreliable, but the figures are obviously designed to sound scary. It is pure propaganda but where is the rebuttal? Unless these kind of things are rebutted then they will be believed by the gullible and uninformed. I bet there are no demonstrations in favour of building a new plant, yet without new plants the electricity supply will become unreliable and the lights will go out. Only then will the public wake up - when the damage has been done and it's too late.
