CNN- "soot enamated from coal fire plants kill an estimated 13,000 Americans prematurely annually and is responsible for an astonishing 100 BILLION Dollars in healthcare costs." July 29 2011
We have to get off coal. There are alternatives to Coal.
Nuclear, advancements in solar, wind Geothermal are all much safer and cleaner for the envirorment.
We humans took the Earth for granted. But she will turn against her if we keep burning Coal and poluting her rivers, skies and seas.
bravo greenpeace bravo, not only have you solved how to get rid of coal but you also managed to introduce us to a era called the DARK AGES, i don't get how you can provide an answer but not a solution or compromise, i'm all for protecting the earth but there's reasons were still using coal power plants and wind turbines aint a solution
Their slogan should be 'Quit coal, block nuclear so that coal is the only viable option.' I wonder how much funding Greenpeace gets from the fossil fuel industry for supporting their business model? Maybe when and if wind, solar, and unicorn farts become real options you guys will look less like complete tools of the oil and coal industries.
Coal is the cheapest and most efficient source of energy we have available today. How about instead of using my monthly donation to have a bunch of hippies vandalize a coal plant, you come up with some innovative ideas to create new sources of power?
Thanks so much for ya'lls great work! I'm from the mountains, and watching my home get destroyed for this polluting, toxic source of fuel breaks my heart. I really appreciate your bravery and dedication to this important cause.
@xTheArk86x I think you'd better look up the word "terrorist", buddy. You'll find it in a dictionary. You appear to think that it refers to peaceful protest.
@xTheArk86x You are "happily reporting" ? Well deserved? Fools like you defend the rights of the wealthy to pollute and otherwise endanger the lives of innocent people living in the areas affected by these two power plants.
@MOgden1965 Way to have the maturity level of a five year old. Typical greenpeace follower... the easily corruptable. Maybe you should start hanging from smokestacks too.
@xTheArk86x Jesus will be glad to see you have been busy sucking the cocks of corrupt companies while he's been gone. Weird I didn't know a piece of shit could do that, usually they just float around till they are flushed...
@xTheArk86x Uh, terrorists are people who deliberately attack and kill the civilian population of a nation to spread fear, there is a slight difference between that and vandalism...
@Aetrion Terrorist: a person, usually a member of a group, who uses or advocates the use of violence and threats to intimidate or coerce, especially for political purposes.
That is EXACTLY what Greenpeace does... inflict acts of terrorism to scare people and spread false information as well as damage property/endanger lives. There is a reason why these people went to jail. Activists are political and peacful... and that is NOT Greenpeace. Sorry.
@xTheArk86x Yes, spraypainting a building is a violent threat aimed at intimidating people. Clearly everyone should be terrified by this powerful message of hate. lol.
@Aetrion Nice dodge on the truth behind the vandalism. Clearly you're just another puppet who is oblivious to what is actually going on.
This stunt not only put their own lives in danger but everyone in the plants and the surrounding areas as well. And yes, spray painting a 'message' like that is an act of intimidation. Trying to force beliefs is not peaceful, and MWG is clearly the target of this intimidation. It obviously won't work, but it is still an act of terrorism.
@xTheArk86x lol, OK... I'm a puppet for calling vandalism vandalism and not terrorism? I didn't even say I agree with what they did, I think there are better ways to raise awareness. However, the simple fact is, calling spraypainting a building terrorism and acting like its the same as politically motivated wanton murder of civilians is utterly insulting to the memory of people who actually died from acts of terrorism.
@Aetrion Endangering lives is an act of terrorism. Them climbing that stack was not an accident. Like I have already mentioned... they put both themselves at the people at the plant/surrounding areas at risk. Someone could have gotten killed with the stunt they pulled.
@Aetrion Cool fucking comment... Now instead of everyone thinking your a dumb hippie jew fag, you have left no doubt. Fuck you and may god have mercy on your soul. But too bad your a hippie jew faggot and god does not care about you or ur shitty ideals you rusty ham wallet. Go sit on your thumb because you can't use your vibaritor because it is powered by coal because your a jew. A jew i said!!!

Q: How many greenpeace members does it take to screw in a light bulb?
A: Doesn't matter how many you have, they just sit in the dark and bitch about it untill someone else does it.
Instead of greenpeace wasting everyones donations bailing these hippies out of jail, they should come up with innovative ideas to reduce pollution.
