In November last year 15 Greenpeace activists were arrested when protesting at a power station in southeast Australia over climate change. The protestors entered the Munmorah power station on the Central Coast of the state of New South Wales Thursday morning, and several of them attached themselves to the conveyor belts used to feed coal into the facility, Australian Broadcasting Corporation radio reported. Another protester painted the slogan "Coal kills" on the roof of the station.In similar incidents, a coal-fired power station in the Czech Republic and another in the UK were invaded by protestors, who tried to stop production.
Environmentalist groups around the world have named 1st April as a day of protest under the banner “Fossil Fuels Day”. If you are in the power generating or hydrocarbons industry, you should be alert to the risk of perimeter invasion.
