Another excellent article by Jack Kelley. I was also encouraged to recently hear that Chuck Smith of Calvary Chapel has stated that he believes that the Islamic End Time Paradigm is very likely. Many across the Body of Christ are awakening to both the Scriptural and the real world support for this emerging [...]

The deferral of Eon’s plans for a new coal- fired power plant at Kingsnorth can be read in several ways. The permits that developers get for new plants are effectively 5-year options in any case, and the history of such projects is littered with tactical delays of all kinds. It could easily be a low-risk shot across the present government’s bows; or the rather obvious expedient of...

The advocates of Kingsnorth claimed that it would have produced 'clean coal'. However, carbon capture and storage technology is still in an experimental phase. Moreover, the long-term effects of pumping...

The dust has now settled after the shock announcement that Kingsnorth is going nowhere for 3 years at least. Naturally I’m delighted, to the extent that I raided my alcohol supply for a swift one and bounced around the living room with my housemate. But politics is complicated and victories rarely more than partial. Also, [...]

When the government said it would give the go ahead to Heathrow's third runway, I thought it might make it harder for them to say yes to the new coal power station at Kingsnorth. It didn't occur to me that E.On might lead the way themselves. Tonight, Kingsnorth was effectively cancelled by E.On. The decision by E.ON marks an end to one of the most bitterly fought environmental campaigns...
