totally fascinating, not sure how I feel about it yet, but I can say I think this person seems in good company with a large number of people who feel similarly.

I suspect we will be seeing more and more of this as more people understand just how urgent the situation has become.

I would love to have been a fly on the wall of Paul Golby the Boss of Eon UK when he was told about this

I like how the spokesperson from Eon tries to undermine the quality of the artwork on the banner, desperately trying to portray the activist as an amateur,
you gotta know what you are doing to shut down a powerstation
you have gotta be really good to do it on a day when there is a well publicised, nation-wide ’48hrs of action’
to climb over two razor wire fence at the most heavily defended powerstation in the UK (12 million quid spent on security)
to get to the turbine hall,
to shut down a turbine and get back over the fences on a day when there are extra police brought in.
…AND get away without being caught

now that is impressive!!

interesting also that the story was suppressed until it leaked out almost a week later, can’t have those protestors thinking they are having an effect!!!

good luck with whatever YOU are planning!!!

I’m sure the CEO of E.ON feels exactly the same when he looks at the scientific evidence then the cheque he could get…

The spirit of Ed Abbey lives……

“At some point we must draw a line across the ground of our home and our being, drive a spear into the land and say to the bulldozers, earthmovers, government and corporations, “thus far and no further.” If we do not, we shall later feel, instead of pride, the regret of Thoroeau, that good but overly-bookish man, who wrote, near the end of his life, “If I repent of anything it is likely to be my good behaviour.” -Ed Abbey

Bad ass action whoever you are Climate Man!

You know, it could have been a lone woman. Ahem.
