Reject Waratah Petition - Friends of the Earth Brisbane

Petition - 'Reject Waratah. Protect Queensland'

Clive Palmer’s Waratah Coal has applied to unleash a new climate-wrecking coal fired power station for 50 years! Even worse, it would support their delayed mega coal mine on the precious Bimblebox nature refuge in Central Queensland’s Galilee Basin.

Queensland’s Deputy Premier Steven Miles has the SOLE POWER to approve or reject this climate-wrecking project but has recently DELAYED THE DECISION.

A new coal fired power station will take away thousands of clean energy jobs and make it impossible for Queensland to meet its 70% renewable energy target by 2032. Increased carbon pollution will threaten the Great Barrier Reef and tourism industry, damage our health and supercharge extreme weather events.

Dear Minister Miles,

When asked in 2018 about the plans of Clive Palmer’s Waratah Coal to build a 50 year coal fired power station, Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said that "Queensland does not need another coal-fired power station.”

Waratah Coal has ignored the Premier and pushed ahead. After calling in the project, you now have the SOLE POWER to approve or reject this climate-wrecking project.

We are highly concerned that you have recently DELAYED this decision. We implore you to REJECT the project, choose renewables to PROTECT Queensland’s precious places and fragile climate.

You have clear economic and environmental reasons to refuse this climate-wrecking project. Choosing coal over renewables will threaten the Great Barrier Reef, supercharge extreme weather events and threaten the future of our children and grandchildren.

Please be a hero and protect us from Clive Palmer’s Waratah Coal.
