Use the above link to see the latest RE. Mong Koke Coal Mining Project.

This is a project between Thailand/ Italy Company and Burma. Thailand could be accused of Crimes against Humanity by being implicated in this.Make your own mind up...

There is also a coal fired Power Station being built near the Airport in Chiang Rai which may be of concern too.

About 20 villages south of Mogok were forcibly relocated in March. The military regime ordered the villagers to sell their farmland at a set price of 20,000 kyat (US$ 25) per acre to the company. Local residents said the authorities violated the human rights of local villagers.

Mong Koke Coal Mining Project will Cause a Greenhouse effect in Chiangrai

Italian Thai have nothing to do with Italy, they're a 100% Thai public company.

The power station near Chiang Rai airoprt will not be a problem as the smoke stack will have lights on it so the pilots can swerve around it when approaching to land.

Be happy, that it isn't a tschernobyl type, north korean build nuclear power plant!

Don't you have fridge, internet, note book, microwave, washing machine, mobil phone and similiar electrical appliances?

Sure we do, that doesn't mean we can't want a cleaner electricity production system though.

Understand your reply but cleaner options should be used when possible.also its not just the point of providing electric but the human cost involved....

Have you seen a coal fired power plant in operation or are you just reading the scaremongering reports?

I read all the reports and form my own opinion unlike the "Murdoch is God" tossers.

Yes I've seen coal fired plants.

I'm not arguing global warming in a regional forum either.

WOW,the military ripping off the locals who are 'in the way'.

Now there's something you don't see every day.

So, let me get this straight. Because we all have electrical appliances, it's 'ok' for the government in Myanmar to bulldoze people's homes in order to provide electricity? And we should also not care that a Thai company is sponsoring the continued oppression of these people?

If that's what you meant, then no, it's not 'ok'.

It would, I agree, be much worse if they were 'relocating' these people in order to build a nuclear power station, but that by no means makes what they are doing worthy of encouragement.

If you don't care what happens to people in Myanmar, that's fine, that's your choice but say so. Rather than try to justify what's happening by saying 'we all use electricity so it doesn't matter how it's produced and you can't mention that you don't agree with oppression because you've got a fridge!'

Thankyou Biff thats what I was hoping the brighter sparks on this forum would see.I do not know if the BBC has picked up on tbis or even CNN. But it does seem that they do tend to ignore a lot of what goes on over hete.I may been wrong there.I believe from the report I have read on the link I posted that Thailand is involved as Biff days in the continued repression of the Burmese people for their own gains.
