A peaceful protest by Greenpeace activists is broken up by armed guards and hired hands working on an illegal steel structure and back-filling on a proposed site for a coal-fired power plant in Iloilo that hasn’t been issued a building permit. Greenpeace labelled the structure “stupid,” citing research that shows there are abundant sources of clean, renewable energy in the area that remains untapped. Coal plants are the largest contributor to greenhouse gas emissions responsible for climate change that manifest in extreme weather events like typhoons Frank, Ondoy (Ketsana) and Pepeng (Melor).
