Lecture: Colombia dirty coal power plant in Hamburg?

on 01.12.2010 at 19.00 clock in the Rudolf Steiner House (middle 11-12, 20148 Hamburg
)
Colombia is now the second largest coal supplier for
Germany's power plants. Principal customer, E. ON, Vattenfall also
will probably relate to the coal power plant in Hamburg-Moorburg
from there.
The downside of this development the German electricity customers
been largely hidden. For the vast coal mines
be expelled people, the environment destroyed, the rights of indigenous communities
ignored, unionization of workers
treated or even prevented. While international groups
generate billions in profits, to the people of the region
helplessly watch as falling increasingly larger areas of fertile land to the mining
victim. Then there are the consequences of climate change, the cost
worldwide human life and suffering damage.
about the situation in Cerrejon, Colombia report, Jairo Fuentes
Epiayu, community leaders from the mining community included
Tamaquitos Alfredo Tovar and board member of the union
SINTRAMIENERGETICA and workers at Glencore.
The new building of many power plants - as here in Hamburg - and the
termination of the German coal subsidies in 2018 will worsen the situation further
. New coal power plants also pry the
from climate change and block the transformation of energy. With a maturity of up to 60 years
they cemented over decades high CO2 emissions.
Colombia is a strategically important partner for the German
energy industry, which continues to dirty coal instead builds on renewable energy
.
