Greenpeace goes prehistoric to protest coal-fired plant in Germany
Berlin (AFP) March 19, 2008 Activists from environmental group Greenpeace on Wednesday placed a steel dinosaur in front of the Hamburg offices for energy giant Vattenfall to protest plans for a new coal-fired power plant. Some 30 protesters also displayed a banner saying "We are stopping dinosaur technology" and dumped three tonnes of coal in front of the company's offices. The steel dinosaur weighed one tonne and was five metres high (16 feet), the organisation said. Sweden-based Vattenfall plans to build a 1,600-megawatt coal-fired plant in Hamburg at a cost of two billion euros (three billion dollars). Emissions from coal-fired plants are believed to be one of the main contributors to global warming. Related Links Powering The World in the 21st Century at Energy-Daily.com
