At 4.30am activists occupied Didcot power station near Oxford, one group shutting down the coal conveyor belt, another scaling the chimneys and abseiling into them so they can't be used.

The station is owned by N-Power who, now that Kingsnorth's been shelved, are front-runners for building new coal stations in the UK.

Didcot is N-power's flagship UK coal station in the UK, emitting nearly 10 million tonnes of CO2 a year. The folks occupying it say they have supplies to last them 'weeks, not days'.

A couple of hours later, work was stopped at Mainshill coal mine in Lanarkshire, site of the UK's anti-coal protest camp (see U Know News section)

A couple of hours after that, people shut down an open cast coal mine at Shipley in Derbyshire.

It produces coal destined for E-On's power station at Ratcliffe on soar, which itself was the target of a thousand-strong protest ten days ago.
