Is that an accurate summary of this one part of today?

Presumably people that work for the power station have children - as we grow older we will see the evidence of climate change, our children will be left with the problems made by our generation - we have to change our lives so that our children will have a life. Before condemning 'tree huggers' do some research , start with:
United Nations, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon
'...some of the most precious treasures of our planet -- treasures are being threatened by humanity’s own hand...the continent’s glaciers are melting... sea levels could rise catastrophically... I saw how the rainforest -- the “lungs of the earth” -- is being suffocated. In Punta Arenas, Chile, near the centre of the famous “ozone hole” in the earth’s atmosphere, children wore protective clothing against ultraviolet radiation. There are days when parents don’t let them play outside, or even go to school. These scenes are as frightening as a science fiction movie. But they are even more terrifying, because they are real. '
Look at the 'Stern' Report in this country - and then read what the IPCC has to say - you may change your mind.

But then the medai I suspect you read would probably be where you got your misinformed opinions from, judging by your comment about "Tree Huggers"
There was a local man interviewed on Radio 4 lunchtime news today who could "see the power station from his house" and was on the march in the thick of it, for the same reasons as everyone else.
If this countries dimwitted executives had the foresight to make their quick buck by embracing non-fossil fuel alternatives and lobbying for insulation grants then they could be employing far more people than the energy industry current does, with a much more sustainable industry than power generation with grossly inefficient, obselete and dirty technology. However they choose to be greedy and lazy and take the easy short term option...
Jobs not Coal
Yes,Y, that is an accurate summary
