In a report released today, the NGO argues that the coal-burning plant is damaging the environment both in Ireland, through its emissions, and in areas where its coal supply is mined.
In a statement to RTÉ News, the ESB said it had not purchased coal from the Colombian mine since 2018. An ESB spokesman also said that the volume of coal purchased for Moneypoint dropped from 1 million tonnes in 2018 to 72,000 tonnes in 2019. It said none of the coal purchased in 2019 came from South America.
The ESB says it is committed the responsible sourcing of coal and has joined the Bettercoal organisation. Bettercoal', which is run by coal suppliers, says it is "working towards a global responsible coal supply chain". Christian Aid's report also calls for the ESB to "develop a robust public human rights policy and develop processes to indentify and monitor human rights in its supply chains".
To hell with Christian aid.....
That’s another poor box I’ll be giving the 2 fingers too ....
Because Christian Aid are ? what exactly ?
The Bible is entirely silent on coal burning power stations....Not a word....Maybe they should said time for the Ark....
