 Kingsnorth power station sits on the banks of the Medway |
Environmental activists have staged a protest outside Lord's cricket ground at the start of a conference on coal. The Greenpeace activists were protesting about government plans to build a coal-fired power station at Kingsnorth, near Rochester, Kent.
The group claims the station would emit eight million tonnes of carbon dioxide a year.
Energy Minister Malcolm Wicks is to give a speech at the north-west London cricket ground on Wednesday.
Greenpeace claimed up to 40 people took part in the protest in London but the Metropolitan Police said there were about 20 demonstrators.
