Climate Action against E.ON in Rotterdam

Fourteen Greenpeace activists try to stop a fully loaded party boat from mooring at the E.ON coal-fired power plant at the Maasvlakte. The E.ON guests are on their way to the opening of the experiment with Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS). The activists sail in various boats, canoes and life rafts between two stools and hold banners reading 'E.ON Stop Kolen', which translates to English as 'E.ON Quit Coal'. According to Greenpeace E.ON wrongly spreads the news that because of CO2 dumping their new coal-fired power plant can function totally "clean". To take the edge of this fable the activists hand out a paper with real facts about CO2 dumping to the partygoers. The new coal-fired power plant E.ON wants to build at the Maasvlakte will emit yearly the same amount of CO2 as 2 million cars.
