  • Climate change activists are protesting in front of the British police during a 24 hours mass action being held near the British Airport Association (BAA) headquarters, close to Heathrow airport, to demonstrate against climate change and the expansion plans for the airport on Sunday, Aug. 19, 2007, Heathrow, England. More than 1800 police officers were deployed to counter the activists in their plan to disrupt the BAA activities on the site. Aviation is the fastest growing source of greenhouse gas emissions in the UK, and all our efforts to tackle climate change in other sectors are undone by the massive growth in air travel. Holding the camp at Heathrow aims to highlight the paradoxical government's airport expansion plans, target industry giants profiteering from the climate crisis, and raise awareness about the need to fly less. The camp also support local residents in their long-term struggle against the building of a third runway and the destruction of their communities. Heathrow, the world's busiest international airport, has been the target of Climat Camp campaing in 2007. www.climatecamp.org.uk   **Italy Out**

  • Coal ready to be shipped at the Unity Mine complex, on Thursday, Apr. 12, 2007, in Cwmgwrach, Vale of Neath, South Wales. The time is ripe again for an unexpected revival of the coal industry in the Vale of Neath due to the increasing prize and diminishing reserves of oil and gas, the uncertainties of renewable energy sources, and the technological advancement in producing energy from coal while limiting emissions of pollutants, has created the basis for valuable investment opportunities and a possible alternative to the latest energy crisis. Unity Mine, in particular, has started a pioneering effort to revive the coal industry in the area, reopening after more than 8 years with the intent of exploiting the large resources still buried underground. Coal could be then answer to both, access to cheaper and paradoxically greener energy and a better and safer choice than nuclear energy as a major supply for the decades to come. It is estimated that coal reserves in Wales amount to over 250 million tonnes, or the equivalent of at least 50 years of energy supply, while the worldwide total coal could last for over 200 years as a viable resource compared to only a few decades of oil and natural gas...
