A Scandal Waiting to Happen
A case almost unknown to the British public raises profound questions of justice in the UK.
By Jonathan Goldsmith
A year ago, Friends of the Earth and a Cumbrian environmental group were successful in stopping a coal mine proceeding in Cumbria on various grounds, including that the government had not required an assessment of the emissions from the use of the coal to be produced by the mine.
- The mine would have extracted approximately 2.8 million tonnes of coal per year until 2050.
- Generating approximately 220 million tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions.
Now the investors in the coal mine are suing the UK government.
