At Leith Hill, near Dorking, people from a wide spectrum of backgrounds have joined forces to protect the Surrey environment from exploratory oil drilling. After seven years of successfully blocking the project, the democratic decisions of local people have just been trampled as the government attempts to push through its drive for new and greater fossil fuel extraction. This policy is in opposition to the Paris Climate Change Agreement it signed earlier this year. Inspired by their love for an amazing designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), Leith Hill Protection Camp is now providing a central focus for all people to mount their opposition to the destruction of Surrey, Sussex and the wider Weald. People are realising that it is not just their back yard that is under threat, and that the fight to save the Surrey Hills is part of a growing global effort to combat the Climate Crisis. The time has come for all of us to take action and defend the lands, the homes and the communities that gave us life. UKOG’s Steven Sanders has stated that ‘This kind of oil deposit depends on being able to drill your wells back to back and becomes very like an industrial process because this is how you get the improvements in costs and efficiencies.’ The people of the Weald will not let this happen.

Representatives of communities fighting the fossil fuel industry in Nigeria, India, Brazil, Canada and the United States, along with more than 375 civil society organizations, delivered a letter at COP22 demanding an end to all new fossil fuels and an urgent, just transition to a renewable energy future. United Nation’s Chief of Staff for climate Daniele Violetti receives the global call for a freeze on fossil fuels The call couldn’t have come in a better time: the climate negotiations started in full course the same day, just after thousands of people marched through the streets of Marrakesh demanding climate justice. March for Climate Justice. Photo: Hoda Baraka Stopping new permits for new exploration of coal, oil or gas is essentially how we meet the climate goals agreed by governments in Paris last year. If governments are going to honor their climate promises, halting fossil fuel expansion is the only way to go. And while governments discuss the next steps for implementing the Paris agreement, many of us are still in the frontline of climate change, dealing with destructive impacts and fighting for our lands against dirty power plants, mining and pipelines. Please ask your friends to join the call from tens of millions of people asking for a freeze of new fossil fuel developments. Our team at the climate conference in Marrakesh is keeping the people bravely fighting the Dakota Access Pipeline in the United States in our hearts and minds. They are preparing for a big day of action to stop the pipeline -- can you join us in sending a message of support? They need to know that the global climate movement is united behind them after the results of the U.S. election, as they step up their efforts to protect their land, water and rights from the greed of the oil industry. The fight is not over, for we know that the true power is not lying with governments, but with the people all over the world. The world can’t wait.

There is now no justification for government ministers claiming renewables are too expensive. https://www.gov.uk/…/beis-electricity-generation-costs-nove… Utility Week report - " BEIS dramatically cuts estimates for renewable energy costs The Department of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) has dramatically cut its projections for the cost of new renewable generation. Its estimates of the levelised cost of energy (LCOE) for large-scale solar, onshore wind and offshore wind have all fallen significantly since they were last calculated in 2013. The Department’s central projection for the LCOE for large-scale solar commissioned in 2020 dropped from £92/MWh to £67/MWh. For those commissioned in 2030 it decreased from £69/MWh to £60/MWh. For onshore wind projects with a capacity of more than 5MW it declined from £85/MWh to £63/MWh in 2020 and from £82/MWh to £60/MWh in 2030. For offshore wind the figures plummeted from £136/MWh to £106/MWh in 2020 and from £120/MWh to £96/MWh in 2030. BEIS also revealed revised figures for non-renewable generation. Its central projection foresees the LCOE for an H-Class combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) reaching £66/MWh by 2020 and £99/MWh by 2030. The equivalent figures for a 600MW open cycle gas turbine (OCGT) running 500 hours each year are £189/MWh and £214/MWh. The LCOE for a first-of-a-kind (FOAK) pressurised water reactor (PWR) commissioned in 2025 was estimated to be £95/MWh, falling to £78/MWh for an Nth-of-a-kind (NOAK) PWR commissioned five years later. The LCOE for a FOAK carbon capture and storage (CCS) enabled CCGT plant was projected to be around £110/MWh. BEIS estimates of the levelised cost of energy (LCOE) for various technologies Source: BEIS The levelised cost of energy is the ratio of the total costs of a generic plant – both up front and operating costs, including carbon costs - to the total amount of electricity expected to be generated over its lifetime. Both inputs to the calculation are expressed in ‘net present value’ terms, meaning that future costs and outputs are discounted when compared to costs and outputs today. It does not take account of wider costs that fall to parties other than the generator, such as system balancing and network reinforcement costs. It is also based on a number of assumptions, most importantly about the plant’s load factors and fuel costs. For this reason BEIS provided a range of estimates for each technology. Although the Department’s modelling of the electricity market does not make use of the figures per se, it does make use of the assumptions used to calculate them."
