The Coal Injunction, Part 2: Arguments against continued coal use made in injunction filings
A 12-year-old child, a podcaster and a Manitoban as well as Saskatchewan Environmental Society and Citizens for Public Justice have filed for an injunction to stop Saskatchewan’s recently announced plants to rebuild its coal fleet in its tracks. In Part 1, the stage is set. In Part 2, Pipeline Online digs into the legal filing, known as the “orginating application,” itself, laying out their arguments to end coal-fired power generation for good.
could only read as far as climate change. Had to stop. The wackos always omit man made. Climate is always changing. Parents who turn their child delusional need to be disciplined.
All who oppose today’s modern power generation and use should have the electricity, natural gas, and furnace fuel cut off to their houses, and a complete personal ban on buying gasoline and diesel fuel. No public and personal transport either. And the judiciary that agree with them.
These unhinged zealots will never stop and will never go away. Peter Prebble is a prime example. Cutting them off from using utilities or purchasing fuel of any kind would be a just reward for their selfishness and stupidity but these measures would be next to impossible to implement. However, what would be very doable would be for the government to obtain the names of the executives and members of the Sask. Environmental Society & Citizens For Public Justice and those who provide funding for these lunatics. SaskPower and SaskEnergy could then proceed to visit the homes and businesses of these individuals, cut off the power and natural gas and remove the meters. These people are actively attempting to prevent Sask. residents from being the beneficiaries of cheap, reliable power. As they huddle around a candle in mid January they can contemplate what they were advocating. Although it would be the height of hypocrisy to wring their hands and moan in outrage as they most surely will, they can simply be told that this is the path they have chosen so deal with it. After all, their actions leave no doubt as to what they want to transpire so, in effect, they are just being helped along in their maniacal quest.
While Canada is going through this charade, China has been building coal plants faster than the West can shut them down, because the people claiming climate change is an existential crisis are allowing China to increase emissions until 2030 to balance “economic inequality”.
Exactly. Put your arguments against coal to the Chinese and see what happens.
The world is going to be reliant on so-called ‘fossil fuels’ like coal for another 30 to 50 years, like it or not. People who argue otherwise are either ignorant, delusional or have a vested financial interest in ‘alternative’ energy sources.
Longer than that unless some really new source comes along which does not currently exist.
Ohhhhhhhhhh mommmaaaaaaaaa … the chil’ren … the chil’ren … are DYING of global warming. When does Bono fly in for a fundraising concert? Cause no 12yo has enough allowance to pay teams of “public interest” lawyers.
The courts use “indisputable” like or means something it doesn’t.
Also, I don’t know if this is enough of a technicality, but they make the bold claim that “all citizens of Saskatchewan and Canada” will suffer irreparable harm from coal generation of these power stations, a claim which is ludicrous on its face. Prove it, beetches, for each and every one of the 40 million, including Jolene from Voisey’s Bay and William in Inuvik.
