E.ON has shelved its plans for a new dirty coal-fired power station at Kingsnorth! Marking a huge campaign victory for all of us in the coalition, and beyond, news came through last night that the energy company is delaying a decision on Kingsnorth for three years!
Your sustained campaigning has undoubtedly had a big impact on this decision. It just goes to show that campaigning works.
Hopefully this will give you a real boost and encourage you to redouble your efforts for The Wave so that we secure the best possible deal from Copenhagen. This success is just the beginning - we now need the Government to inspire a fair new international climate deal by ruling out all dirty coal-fired power stations!
Here's a quick reminder of what we've done together to secure this win:
