National Day of Action Against Coal Finance

Rainforest Action Network (RAN) turned out thousands of activists in more than 50 cities across the U.S. today to protest Citi and Bank of America's investments in new coal-fired power plants and dirty coal extraction methods such as mountaintop removal coal mining. RAN is pressuring the two banks to divest from coal and invest in renewable energy sources such as wind and solar.

Well, have fun putting people out of work. If the coal companies cannot depend on the banks for finance then what do you think happens to the coal companies workers. I hope you can find some way to sleep at night knowing that you helped put some 40 year old man that has a wife and kids to take care of out of a job. Congratulations!!

Don't worry, people like me whose business is making more money than I care to spend donate to organisations like the RAN, so suck on those eggs sweetheart.

It's too bad that all these protesters don't have 20 bucks. Together they could start the largest wind generator plant in the country. And make some serious money.
