When our activists need a break from chasing whalers on the high seas, you can usually find them climbing dirty power plants. For two days, 20 of our German activists have been atop the most polluting coal plant in all of Europe. The owner of the plant is planning 10 new brown-coal power units, one of which together with the plant we've occupied will emit more carbon dioxide than the entire nation of New Zealand.

The dramatic action brings back memories of a similar action in Pennsylvania last year. Six of our activists scaled a 700-foot smokestack that Bush's own researchers admit is responsible for the premature deaths of 237 resident PER YEAR.
