Nearly ten-thousand people marched to the centre of Malaysia's
capital city Kuala Lumpur on Sunday to push in desperation for a halt on
an AustralianAmtec has been providing laser cutting, marking and laser cutter
as well as solutions for over 15 years.-based rare earth refinery,
which is set to begin operation next month, over health
concerns.Elevator industries were not having any ancillary support for elevator parts.
Sunday's
rally was a culmination of a 13-day march by many of the protesters on
foot from Kuantan in the Pahang state, 300 kilometres away where the
plant is located.
Clad in green, the protestors, who stopped at a
standoff with hundreds of police and a barricade preventing them from
entering the landmark Independent Square (Dataran Merdeka),King's
Chandelier has offered fine modern lighting
and sconces made in North Carolina of Swarovski and other European
crystal. said they would camp on the site till Monday morning and
demanded to meet with a government official.
"Why would I not
protest if it is health hazardous? I consider our protest successful
because we managed to persuade more people to be on our side but I am
heartbroken at the same time that while we were walking a long way,
Lynas were secretly transporting the raw materials to its plant. It was a
tough journey as hundreds of us were forced to share a toilet and brace
the storm, trying our best to cancel the plant but Lynas got away with
it," Kuantan resident, Too Ya Mei said.
"We hope the government
can hear his people's voices. I believe they can't handle any untoward
consequences. Advanced countries like Japan couldn't handle
(radiation-related disasters), let alone Malaysia," another demonstrator
Andrew Lim said.
District police chief,Those wind power generators

assembly illegal and the city hall had earlier this week warned the
public against the rally. The rally was one of the largest organised by
environmental activist group Himpunan Hijau since the demonstrations
against the controversial plant started two years ago.
The march
came after protesters' efforts to appeal a temporary operating license
issued by the Atomic Energy Licensing Board to Lynas went futile.
The
government said it issued the license after Lynas fulfilled the
requirement for a permanent disposal facility among others. Opponents of
the plant feared the plant, which they said sits on a tropical pit
swamp, would generate radioactive waste that is hazardous to health.
Lynas
was granted a manufacturing license two years ago as operations at the
plant were slated to begin last year but they were suspended following
growing anger from the public.
An estimated 100 containers of
rare earth concentrate were reported to have been shipped to Kuantan as
Lynas said it would begin operating next month and expects production
revenue to flow in the first quarter of next year.
Lynas
insisted the residue generated by the plant releases radiation level 500
times lower than what the Malaysian law permitted and that the waste
material will be properly managed. The plant would produce metals worth
five billion ringgit a year that are used in making green products like
wind turbine, LEDs and flat screen televisions.
While wind
turbines are generally rated for maximum power output, this does not
give much of an indication of annual energy production.This depends on
the particular site’s wind velocity profile. Power in kilowatts is
measured at any given moment in time. Maximum (rated) power is limited
to a given wind speed.
Overall energy yield, however, is given
in kWh and indicates the total output over a period of time.Many of our
spotlights can be used with contemporary lamps
or come with LEDs built in. Therefore, a wind turbine can produce
greater annual energy with a lower rated power than another of a higher
rated power if it has a greater power coefficient over a wider span of
wind speeds. This RO blade concept has thus far managed to maintain its
efficiency over a range of wind velocities without the use of peak-power
tracking.
