Japan Court Halts Restart of 2 Reactors
A court in Japan issued an injunction Tuesday blocking a power company from restarting two of its nuclear reactors.
Nuclear regulators had already cleared Kansai Electric Power to restart the No. 3 and No. 4 reactors at a plant in the western province of Fukui according to new standards put in place following the 2011 earthquake and tsunami at the Fukushima nuclear plant.

Fresh lawsuit filed against planned restart of nuclear reactors in Japan
Nine residents filed for an injunction order on Friday to suspend the
planned restart of four nuclear reactors in western Japan, local media

Japanese court rejects citizens' demand for suspension of nuclear reactor restart
A Japanese court on Thursday rejected a demand by some western Japan
residents seeking suspension of planned restart of nuclear reactors at
Takahama and Oi plants, local media reported.
The residents, from Shiga Prefecture, claimed that there are many geological faults around the two plants which might cause earthquakes and tsunamis, and that severe nuclear accidents might occur such as in the 2011 Fukushima crisis.

Colorado Regulators Halt Fracking Wastewater Injection Operation After Earthquake Strikes Area For Second Time in One Month
Thankfully, two earthquakes proved to be too many.
The Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (COOGC) has directed High Sierra Water Services to stop disposing wastewater into a Weld County injection well as a result of a 2.6 magnitude earthquake striking the area Monday morning, about five miles away from Greeley, CO, the Colorado Independent reported. The earthquake marked the second one in just one month.

Residents in Colorado Town File Class-Action Lawsuit Against State and Governor to Uphold Fracking Ban
Lafayette, CO residents passed a measure to ban fracking within city limits in November, yet they’re still fighting for clean air and water.
A month after elections, the Colorado Oil and Gas Association filed a lawsuit against the City of Lafayette to overturn the newly passed Community Bill of Rights. Now, residents are turning the tables back on the association, as well as the state and Gov. John Hickenlooper in a first-of-its-kind, class-action lawsuit filed Tuesday in Boulder County District Court.

Right2Water urges privatisation ban in first EU Citizens’ Initiative debate
Organisers of the “Right2Water” campaign urged the EU
Commission to guarantee access to water and sanitation as a human right,
and give a legal undertaking that water services will not be
liberalised in the EU, in the first European Parliament debate on a
European Citizens’ Initiative in Parliament on Monday. MEPs shared the
view that access to water is a basic human right, but some pointed out
that rules on providing drinkable water remain the remit of EU member
states.
The hearing, organised by the Environment Committee, in association with Development, Internal Market and Petitions committees, brought together representatives of the “Right2Water” Citizens Committee, MEPs and the European Commission, which will draft a response to the initiative by 20 of March.
