Talk: EDF sues Bristol Resident for £5million

Hamilton House 12/03/13 7:30-9pm

A Bristol resident is being sued for £5million by energy giant EDF for his
part in a week long occupation that shut down the company's newest gas fired
power station in October of last year .He, along with 20 others, were
protesting against the government's plans for up to 40 new gas power stations,
as part of the campaign group No Dash for Gas.

There is to be a public talk at Hamilton House on Tuesday 12th March 7.30-9 pm
where Daniel Quiggin, the Bristol resident being sued by EDF will discuss with
others the implications on the right the protest and how the lawsuit is
affecting him. The discussion will involve campaigners from various energy
groups from around Bristol and Somerset. The move by Government and the Big
Six Energy Companies towards extreme energy can be succesfully challenged if
we act collectively, this lawsuit affects all of our attempts to speak out
against those with the power!
