RAN to Bank of America shareholders: You Can’t Bailout a Dead Planet

Coal and climate activists have really been stepping it up in Charlotte and North Carolina. Between Duke Energy building a 800 NW new coal plant in Cliffside, NC and Bank of America funding every coal related enterprise under the sun, the Tarheel state is really seeing activist things happen.

Today it happened again, Bank of America was besieged by climate activists inside and outside their annual shareholders’ meeting.

Bank of America has been had economic troubles with the faltering economy and the mortgage crisis. Fortunately, the government can always bail them out of those problems. Not so much on the climate crisis.

Outside, about 20 activists chanted, messaged to shareholders, employees and passer-bys and kept a vocal visible presence throughout the meeting watched over with a careful eye by a coal-filled effigy of CEO Ken Lewis. Pics are posted here.
