Dynegy gets surprise gift for Fossil Fool’s Day

FromRAN Houston. A little gift for Bruce Williamson and Dynegy. Happy Fossil Fool’s Day

“Ten activists with Rainforest Action Network Houston showed up to take action on Dynegy’s headquarters.

While two activists delivered our Fossil Fool of the Year award to CEO of Dynegy, Bruce Williamson, eight others released a balloon banner in the Wells Fargo Plaza’s main lobby.

Everyone then proceeded to pass out literature about Dynegy, coal, and wind power in Texas to passers-by and people entering/exiting the building. The security though unaware reacted quickly however not timely enough to stop the two activists from delivering the award to Dynegy’s secretary or stop the balloon banner from making it to the lobby’s ceiling. No arrests were made.”
