Activists Block Entrance to RWE Coal Plant in Eemshaven
Greenpeace activists, including brand new executive directors of Greenpeace Netherlands: Anna Shoemakers and Joris Thijssen, block the coal ship ‘Paquis’ which plans to unload coal from Russia for the largest coal-fired power plant in the Netherlands. The blockade is accomplished by stretching a rope above the water between two wind turbines on either side of the harbour and attaching three Greenpeace activists to the middle of the rope. The activists are hanging ten metres above the water, holding a banner with the message: "Coal: Gone with the Wind." It is sunset now and the climbers will spend the night at the rope.

Greenpeace Blokkeert Toegang Kolencentrale RWE Eemshaven
Actievoerders van Greenpeace onder wie de twee nieuwe directeuren Anna Schoemakers en Joris Thijssen verhinderen het schip Paquis geladen met kolen uit Rusland om aan te leggen bij de kolencentrale aan de Eemshaven. Zij doen dit door een draad te spannen tussen twee windmolens die op 500 meter afstand van elkaar staan. Hieraan komen 3 klimmers te hangen, de twee nieuwe directeuren maken hier deel van uit. De klimmers houden een spandoek vast met de tekst: "Coal: gone with the wind".

Activists Block Entrance to RWE Coal Plant in Eemshaven
In Eemshaven, Greenpeace activists block the coal ship ‘Paquis’ which plans to unload coal from Russia for the largest coal-fired power plant in the Netherlands. The blockade is accomplished by stretching a rope above the water between two wind turbines on either side of the harbour and attaching three Greenpeace activists to the middle of the rope. Among the activists are the brand new executive directors of Greenpeace Netherlands: Anna Shoemakers and Joris Thiessen. The activists are hanging ten metres above the water, holding a banner with the message: "Coal: Gone with the Wind." Greenpeace calls on Dutch politicians to close all coal-fired power plants in the Netherlands without delay and fully embrace wind energy.
