Is building a coal-powered station in the middle of a climate crisis stupid?

At the Kingsnorth power station in Kent, the owners have proposed building a new facility, which would be the first such plant to be built in Britain for 33 years. Britain has pledged to cut its greenhouse gas emissions by 60 per cent by 2050, and the Government is still considering E.ON’s application.

And how do you multiple stupid?

“Unless there’s a big fight over Kingsnorth these companies, with the backing of Government, want to build six more atmosphere-crunching coal fired power stations in the next few years. Collectively these power stations would emit around 50 million tons of CO2 a year.”

There are 12 kilometers of whispering sands making up the dunes easily viewed from a boardwalk along a conservation area known as the Irving Eco Center. La Dune de Bouctouche constitutes a 6.08 mile long ridge of sand formed over centuries by the wind and stormy seas. The dune has almost enclosed the bay area over its full length leaving an opening to the bay at its mouth that is a 1.1 mile wide opening and the dune is still expanding today. Le Pays de la Sagouine, based on Antonine Maillet’s award-winning book La Sagouine, is a theme park filled with Acadian entertainment and history. Their activities include dramatic reproductions of Antonine’s plays and in 2010 they are taking up the challenge to provide more activities in the English language so a visit with Le Pays is a great choice on your New Brunswick vacation.

Chapters: Litchfield Hills, Lake Waramaug State Park, Mohawk State Forest, Black Rock State Park, Kent Falls State Park, Burr Pond State Park, Campbell Falls State Park Reserve. Excerpt: The Litchfield Hills (also known as the Northwest Hills or Northwest Highlands) is a geographic region of the U.S. state of Connecticut located in the northwestern corner of the state. It is a term that is roughly coterminous with the boundaries of Litchfield County, for which it is named. The geographic region includes two officially designated regions: rural Northwestern Connecticut, and the area associated with the city of Torrington (also known as the Upper Naugatuck River Valley or simply Litchfield Hills). Much of the area makes up the lowermost section of the Berkshire region, and is culturally similar to the rest of western New England. A scene from The Hotchkiss School in Salisbury.Northwestern Connecticut is known for its distinct rural scenery, which can stand in contrast to the rest of Connecticut, which is largely urbanized or suburbanized. It is a key part of the Housatonic River watershed, and encompasses a number of Connecticut’s highest peaks, such as Bear Mountain. Most of the region comprises forested hills and rocky peaks, with farmland and small towns interspersed in the valleys and plains. This region also plays host to a large portion of the state’s small vineyard and wine industry. Historically, the region was well-known for the limestone, iron, and dairy industries. Unlike the rest of Connecticut, the portion of Northwestern Connecticut around the upper Housatonic River contains more akaline soils due to the underlying limestone. Due to the rural feel of the area, the region is an extremely popular location for second homes, primarily with Ne… More:

Citizen Marvin Kent enticed the railroad shops to the village, and the population boomed. Prosperity followed, and in 1867, the name of the village was changed to Kent in his honor. In the
