The Government has admitted that a proposed coal mine in Cumbria – subject of these posts – was approved unlawfully, as the carbon emissions of coal from the mine should have been taken into account in the planning decision, the Guardian reported this week.
Sense at long last. How was it ever possible not to take account of the emissions from burning the coal ?!? It took a conspiracy of warped and disingenuous arguments to keep this crazy mine plan going for so long. Thank SLACC and FOE for fighting it. https://t.co/UTLbu9cPli
