Kingsnorth is the first in a line of new coal-fired power stations which the government and energy companies are seeking to build in the UK. If built, these power stations will lock us into a future of fossil fuels and unstoppable climate chaos. For example, the new Kingsnorth plant alone would produce 8.1 million tonnes in annual CO2 emissions, exceeding those of the country of Ghana. But it doesn't have to be this way. We can show them that they'll have a battle on their hands. And if we are serious, we can win.

Although the process is still at the bidding stage, we don't have to wait until the construction work has begun. In fact this planet can't afford for us to. It is also likely to be more effective if we act now by focusing on the companies bidding to build the new power station. The companies are:
* BAM Nuttall
* Laing O'Rourke
* Balfour Beatty
* A Costain/Hochtief joint venture
* Kier Group
* Morgan Est.

These companies need to be told "Don't Build Kingsnorth." But then, sometimes actions speak louder than words ;-)
