This is exactly how the fossil fuel industry works. Communities and the climate are treated as expendable, while profit is protected at all costs.

If the Government can quietly redefine a controversial private industry as 'national infrastructure' to suppress protest, what comes next?
This is hideously wrong on so many levels. It's in order to clamp down on protest against animal testing and it must be stopped.
