Climate Action E.ON at the Maasvlakte in Rotterdam

The Greenpeace ships Rainbow Warrior and Beluga are in Maasvlakte, Rotterdam, the Netherlands in support of the hundred activists occupying the construction site of the new E.ON coal fired power plant. The activists have halted the construction for 10 hours. The energy corporation E.ON is ignoring all science around climate change by insisting on plans to construct eight new European coal-fired power plants. The plant in Rotterdam is intended to be the first, even though it has not yet been granted the necessary permits.
E.ON has so far remained silent, despite Greenpeace’s request that it commits to reducing its CO2 emissions. The action is part of Greenpeace's global Quit Coal Campaign.
