Put your questions on coal, fossil fuels and renewables to the chief executive of the Germany energy firm EonUnder the You Ask, They Answer microscope this week is the German energy giant Eon and its chief executive Paul Golby. The company runs fossil fuel power stations, windfarms and biomass plants across the UK. Most controversially it has been attacked by environmental campaigners for its plan to open the first new coal-fired power station in the UK for 20 years at Kingsnorth, in Kent. It also has plans to build two new nuclear power stations and is a major investor in the £2.2bn London Array offshore wind farm. Golby has described anti-coal protesters as "a little naive".This is your chance to put your questions direct to Paul Golby and to Eon. How do you feel about expanding coal generation in the UK and new nuclear power stations? Are coal protesters "naive"? Should the company be doing more to invest in renewables? Or should it be paying more attention to keeping customer bills low?Golby will be live online between 11am and noon on Monday. For the rest of the week until Friday afternoon a team of Eon staff will tackle other questions and comments on the blog. They are:Emily Highmore - Senior media and communications officerTim Pyke - Climate managerSara Vaughan - director of regulation & energy policyJonathan Smith - PR and media relations managerPlease post your questions below.EnergyFossil fuelsCoalNuclear powerRenewable energyUtilitiesKingsnorthActivismguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2009 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More Feeds
