Discussion
Was just reading about the "climate camp" (pukes,) aside from rabid lental propelled speeches, and outbreaks of marxist non leg shaving women, it seems that true to their form, the land they are carrying out the tofu sausagefest on, actually belongs to someone else and they have "occupied" it.. somehow "legally" too -

I always wonder what protests like this expect to achieve. In the case of a political protest, like the gulf war ones, it is a demonstration to people who hold jobs based on public opinion that a large chunk of the public disagree with them. In this case it's just demonstrating to an energy company that hippies don't like coal. Ok chaps, thanks for that, now jog on so we can build our power station.

A press realease from E.on stating that they have been listening, and have decided to go nuclear instead would have an interesting result I suspect. 
We are currently on 'high alert' where I work. It's a coal fired powerstation and from what I heard they caused chaos last time.
It's odd really, I have been told that if these scummers are on public land, they can be removed by the police for causing an obstruction, if they trespass onto site, nothing can be done. We are not allowed to touch them as it can be classed as assault and they like to film everything. We can however use our bodies to obstruct them should they try and push past us. It doesn't matter that they are a danger to themselves and to workers on the job.
What they like to do is invade site and cause an obstruction, as I said earlier, they cannot be moved so the police have to get some sort of warrant. This obvioulsy takes several hours. The protestors like to wait and cause everybody hassle during this time and just as the police come back with the required paperwork, the unwashed a
holes then scarper.
I don't understand what gives these nasty, non tax paying little aholes the right to cause all these problems. I don't personally care if they kill themselves by falling under some heavy plant, it's the danger they cause to hard working guys on site. Obviously, if they do get killed, it's our fault anyway.
The ironic thing is, on my job we are installing a system that is reducing the pollution coming out of the stack by ninety odd percent, and the more problems these idiots cause, the longer it will be before we finish it. Ohhhhhh, the irony.
In civilised countries you can just shoot them...
/rant over.
By the way, that last line is not to be taken seriously.

I don't get it.
According to the tree huggers we:
....Can't have more fossil fuel fired stations - Ok...
....Can't have more Nuclear fired stations - Ok...
....Have to use "renewables" - This is where it all falls down, surely.
What do they expect us to do when the current stock of power stations come to the end of their shelf life - you can bet your bottom dollar that they will be the ones shouting the loudest when we have brownouts and rolling power cuts.
What is the only alternative for the medium, even long term? I'm sorry (well, I'm not really) but the only viable alternative is Nuclear no matter how distasteful they (or anyone else really) find it.

Is it possible to lay mines between their drum-field and your station? ie no more hippie-scum if they try to advance? 
That could be a possibility.Or perhaps some barb wire and a bit of trench warfare?
We could just mow the b
ds down as they advance up the access road. We have a some earthmovers that we can scoop up the bodies with so they shouldn't cause any problems to the motorists driving in and out of work.
