Greenpeace declares war on coal

June 16, 2008

GREENPEACE has called for all coal-fired power stations to be shut down by 2030 as part of a radical energy plan

The environment group wants an immediate ban on new coal-fired power stations - and extensions to existing plants - and for the Federal Government to start planning on shutting them down for good.

The group has released a roadmap - Australia's Energy (R)evolution - to turn the tide of increasing greenhouse-gas emissions.

"Avoiding catastrophic climate change means an inevitable phasing out of coal," the roadmap said.

...

Greenpeace also wanted a mass roll-out of electric cars and subsidies to the fossil fuel industry scrapped.

If the kiddies are naughty near Christmas time, don't give them coal.

Give them Greenpeace flyers.

What I want to know is what these greenies expect us to use for energy!
Let's hear first hand testimony of what alternative forms of energy they use in THEIR life that is best for all of us.

Oil, no, Gas, no, coal, no, nuclear, no!

What I say to them I would get in trouble typing here.

So I'll sum it up by saying: :soapbox

then :tape

Looks like they'll have to sell off all their Zodiac boats, since most coal plants are on dry land.....:rolleyes

It wouldn't solve the whole energy crisis but it would be a good start!!!
