The Save Happy Valley Coalition is selling carbon credits, after Solid Energy blamed the group for a reduction in coal production from its opencast Stockton Mine.
The state-owned miner recently said that it was reducing production for the year by 250,000 tonnes, in part because of the protests by Coalition members.
This is great news for the climate! Solid Energy can't catch up that lost 250,000 tonnes of production, so that's 600,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide that have been prevented from reaching the atmosphere – the equivalent of taking 170,000 New Zealand cars off the road for a year.
