Citizens for Public Justice is challenging the Saskatchewan government in court over its decision to extend coal production beyond 2030—even when they are supposed to be winding it down.
In an article for Christian Courier, CPJ’s Climate Justice Policy Anaylst, Maryo Wahba explains why he thinks suing the government over coal is an act of worship.
“Worship isn’t only what we sing o
n Sunday; it’s the public love of our neighbours that we practice every day. Coal-fired power generation is among the most harmful ways to produce electricity, contributing disproportionately to the climate crisis and local air pollution that worsens heart and lung disease and drives hundreds, if not thousands, of premature deaths. Renewable energy, on the other hand, creates sustainable jobs, affordable electricity rates, and avoids preventable suffering.”
