ANZ's Dirty Secret

ANZ spends millions of dollars creating a green image. Yet it's the biggest financer of polluting coal power in Australia. We're calling on the big bank to rule out financing new coal power stations - which, if built, will lock us into decades of pollution. Instead, ANZ should lead the way to a clean energy future.TAKE ACTION! http://www.greenpeace.org.au/climate/db_action.php

Good job Greenpeace, now to promote power that's good for the environment...NUCLEAR POWER. Surely you support nuclear power? Right?

[GreenpeaceAustralia]

@meraxes75 Thanks very much for your support! Alas no, we believe the solution to climate change and polluting coal power is to invest in large-scale renewable energy projects, not nuclear. Nuclear is dangerous, expensive, and environmentally damaging - there's no solution to radioactive waste and the emissions saved is not even near the vicinity that can be saved by using renewable energy.

Spain and other European countries are rolling back green subsidies because it's sending the economy broke. It will happen in Oz.

Utter propaganda from the eco loons. Atmospheric co2 enrichment benefits all life on our cooling Planet.

People need to start looking into the evils of central banking rather than some minor effects on the environment they may cause... I don't know about you, but the air I breathe is pretty fresh.

My money however, is backed by nothing and is devalued every year.

I have stopped donating to Greenpeace, they are now a disgraceful political activist rabble. Greatest probability is that the electricity used in the creation of this video and the uploading to youtube, were all powered by coal fired power stations.

Heres one way you idiots can save the planet:

1. Plant a tree.

2. Shoot yourself standing under it.

3. Your decomposing body will fertilise it.

Sorry Greenpeace, I disagree with you here. If its not ANZ financing this industry it will be someone else. And if its not an Australian Bank financing this industry it will be an overseas one. Maybe you could try actually protesting the coal mining companies??! Go back to saving the Whales, seriously!

Death to the eco-tyrants!! Down with Greenpeace! Down with Big Brother! Down with the EPA! We cannot let these Luddites destroy our standard of living. The earth does not need a protector it is the height of arrogance to think that our puny industries can change the world.

@daewonskate Calm down. It's not good for your health to get upset like that.

@charbonou2

Are you really that stupid? Are you honestly trying to say we could power all of Australia on renewable energy right now? Time to wake up and face reality mate.

I realise Greenpeace put this info out, I just wondered if perhaps a competitor of anz had ensured this info became public knowledge. Sometimes businesses do crazy things to discredit a competitor, even if they are legitimate and true things.
