RE: Council approval for Rathlin Energy at West Newton17 Mar 2022 16:44
I read a report a few weeks ago that was highlighting the back-channel funding given by the Russian Government to climate change/green campaigners. I've often wondered how these small groups, a bit like the Weald one I guess, can raise tens of thousands of pounds to challenge in places like the High Courts. The article was saying that if these groups use crowdfunding sites, it's easy for the Ruskies to channel hundreds of small donations. So, why would they do that? Well, the article argued that, particularly in the UK, these groups are very good at holding up applications for oil and gas projects. This means it's more difficult for the UK to develop it's own resources.
Just a thought.....are such campaigners unwitting reds under the bed?
