It seems that Solid has reduced production for the year by 250,000 tonnes, in part because of the protests by The Save Happy Valley group.
And so the protest group is now selling “carbon credits” as a fund raiser.
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.
