Similar cases against other energy companies elsewhere have failed in the past.<br><br>However, environmentalists hope Lliuya's case will highlight the impact emissions from fossil fuels — such as in RWE's coal-fueled power plants — have on people around the world.<br>            adverts.addToArray({"pos":"inread_player"})Advertisement  my website:  http://Brattrick.Hollosite.com/jump.php?url=https://pusatslot4d.com/hausgol/
