Some days there’s good news! This ruling for once puts common sense ahead of platitudes from the deliberately blind fossil fuel industry.

Great news – now we just need to stop the coal boss’s more dangerous project – a deep nuclear dump off Whitehaven. Here is a bit of history of the first legal challenge against the coal plan by a nuclear safety campaigner – https://keepcumbriancoalinthehole.wordpress.com/2024/09/13/great-news-the-coal-mine-has-been-quashed-by-the-high-court/

Thank you so much for achieving this. I live in another part of the UK, but this impacts all of us.

Congratulations from Australia (and from a sometimes visitor to Cumbria especially to Sedbergh). We have an uphill battle against the extremely well funded fossil fuel industry here and welcome any positive news. As the United Nations has declared, nowhere in the world should be opening new fossil fuel developments particularly coal.

This is at last a victory for plain common sense. It puts the UK back on an unambiguous course toward Zero Carbon for the world community. And….it gives impetus – rather than mere buck-passing – toward low and eventually zero carbon steel production. In short: it is about a future worth living for us all. Well done.

Good news on the judgement, and hope that’s the end of the mine application. Very clear explanation of the false claims by WCM too.
