Shortly before the expected result of the coal commission, around 60 Greenpeace activists are demonstrating since daybreak at the lignite power plant Niederaussem near Koeln for determined climate protection. On a meadow they put a 50-meter-long symbol of a thermometer with the temperature gauge 1,5 degrees, whose mercury column is illuminated by flames. "Stop coal, protect the climate," the environmentalists are demanding on a banner.
