From 2022: #NSW Police Use #AntProtest Laws to Monitor Tour Groups
by Paul Gregoire & Ugur Nedim,13 Oct 2022
Excerpt: "#SilencingDissent
"Back in 2014, then NSW premier Mike Baird told a NSW mining industry dinner that his government was going to 'crackdown' on those who choose to break the law when they protest. And he singled out '#protesters who unlawfully enter #mining sites.'
"A little over a year later, the Coalition government followed through with the premier’s promise when it passed a series of harsh #AntiProtestLaws, under the Inclosed Lands, Crimes and Law Enforcement Legislation Amendment (Interference) Bill 2016.
"The legislation created the new offence of aggravated unlawful entry on inclosed lands. Section 4B of the #InclosedLand Protection Act 1901 provides that interfering, or attempts to interfere, with the conduct of a business on enclosed land can land a #protester with a fine of up to $5,500.
"Under the provisions of the bill, police were provided with additional powers to stop, search, detain, and seize the property of protesters, as well as being given the power to shutdown a peaceful protest if it is #ObstructingTraffic.
"And the bill also inserted a definition of #mine into section 201 of the #CrimesAct 1900, so that the offence of interfering with a mine includes #coal seam #gas exploration and extraction sites. This offence carries a maximum penalty of seven years imprisonment.
"The #WilpinjongThree
"Bev Smiles, Bruce Hughes and Stephanie Luce are the first people to be up on protesting charges since the laws were changed. In April last year, the three were arrested for protesting outside the #Wilpinjong #CoalMine in #Wollar.
"The three are up on charges of rendering a road belonging to a mine useless and hindering the working equipment belonging to a mine. These are both offences that carry the penalty of seven years imprisonment.
"When the trio appeared at Mudgee Local Court on February 9, the presiding magistrate rejected police claims that the Wollar-Ulan Road, where the defendants were arrested, actually belonged to the mining company.
" 'They have pleaded not guilty, and are awaiting a judgment on the case,' Mr Phillips explained. 'The outcome of that case will be important.” If the three have 'the book thrown at them' then it’s likely to discourage the protesting of coal mines in NSW."

#India's #flyash problems and opportunities. A new draft amendment shows that industries are starting to see it as an economic proposition, and the government is shifting its view that flyash is no longer an environmental challenge but an important industrial resource. #flyash #thermalpowerplant #thermal #coalmines #energytransition #india #powerplant

Turning #coalmines into #solar energy plants ‘could add 300GW of #renewables by 2030’
#Solarpanels on defunct surface #mines could put land to productiveuse for renewable generation, report says
In a first of its kind analysis, researchers from Global Energy Monitor identified 312 surface coalmines closed since 2020 around the world, and 134 likely to close by the end of the decade, together covering 5,820 sq km (2,250 sq mi) -- a land area nearly the size of Palestine.

"…we have a solid foundation that brings the monitoring of ship emissions based on satellite data much closer. There is still research to be done to see how much we can improve the extraction quality from the satellite signal." Kurchaba says…"At SRON Netherlands Institute for Space Research, I'm currently working with Tropomi…developing methods using machine learning to detect #methane plumes from #superemitters like #coalmines, #landfills, and the #oilandgas industry."

In the Dirty Business of Faking Green, a Third #Arizona Tribe Sues #DebHaaland for Desecration
By #BrendaNorrell, #CensoredNews
August 13, 2024"In the dirty business of faking #GreenEnergy, Interior Department head Deb Haaland is being sued by the #Hualapai Tribe for approval of a #LithiumMine targeting their #SacredSpring. It is the same lithium mine where an Australian company has hired the head of a #NavajoNation enterprise to lead the drilling for lithium and violating the sacred.
"Deb Haaland, #LagunaPueblo, is now being sued by three tribes in Arizona for ongoing destruction of religious and historic places, sacred places where #TohonoOodham, #SanCarlosApache , and Hualapai have offered their prayers since time immemorial.
"In the lawsuit, Hualapai tell of the drilling for lithium, and the way the Interior's Bureau of Land Management concealed the plans for the lithium mine."
[...]
"The Tohono O'odham and San Carlos Apache Nations filed for a restraining order on Haaland, which was denied by a Tucson federal judge, but the tribes continue the legal battle. Haaland, present at the groundbreaking of #PatternEnergy's wind project, is promoting the #SunZia transmission line to take wind energy from New Mexico to California, now cutting a path of destruction across pristine regions of the Southwest. Pattern Energy in San Francisco is owned by the #CanadaPensionFund.
"The mainstream media is also concealing the fact that the CEO of the #NavajoNation enterprise which claims to be transitioning to green energy is heading the project to desecrate Hualapai's sacred ceremonial place. The so-called #NavajoTransitionalEnergyCompany also owns #CoalMines in Wyoming and Montana.
"The Navajo Transitional Energy Company stated in March that it had signed the mining agreement and its CEO #Vern Lund would lead the mining operation for the Australian company."
