Energy firms threaten poor - Oxfam
Updated on 06 October 2008
Energy giants Shell and E.ON are threatening the lives of millions of poor around the world, a charity said.
Their "high-polluting policies" have been attacked in an Oxfam report 'Forecast for Tomorrow' that says they are contributing "to the UK pushing global emissions to dangerous levels for the world and catastrophic levels for the poor."
The controversial Kingsnorth coal-fired power station, proposed by E.ON, attracted particular criticism, with Oxfam warning it will have the combined carbon output of 30 developing countries.
