Sparks may fly at the third annual UK Energy Summit if the Climate Justice Collective have their way. Aiming to short circuit one of the highlights of the greenwash calender, whose attendee list reads like a list of shame, there's gonna be actions across London during the conference on May 3rd.

The Summit sees CEOs and policy execs from such famously forward-thinking and sustainable energy corporations as Shell, BP, British Gas, EDF Energy and ExxonMobil chatting with their financial brethren like Meryll Lynch. Also appearing are natural gas profiteers such as the BG Group who boast of liaising with governments to 'find, develop and connect' natural gas around the world. The laughable tagline of the conference is 'securing a sustainable energy future'.

Quite how such a motley bunch of bloodsuckers are going to come up with anything even close to innovative is not a mystery – it's impossible. Stepping in to smash the veneer of corporate responsibility and 'take the power back', Climate Justice have called on protesters to gather in four themed blocs – details on www.climatejusticecollective.org/.

In other climate change news, last weekend protesters descended on Sizewell nuclear power station in opposition to the planned expansion of the plant with two new reactors and a dry storage dump. Around 40 people camped for the weekend, while locals and those from further afield shared knowledge with speeches and held a Chernobyl remembrance.
