12 February 2009 Cilacap, Central Java, INDONESIA. Greenpeace takes direct action to expose the true cost of coal at Cilacap coal plant on Central Java’s south coast. 40 Greenpeace activists and local community representatives, wearing white masks to symbolise the health risks to local communities, chained themselves to the gates of the Cilacap coal plant. Greenpeace is denouncing the faulty projections by Indonesia’s Energy ministry to justify the building of new coal plants that do not take into account so-called "external costs" such as respiratory diseases, mining accidents, acid rain, smog pollution, reduced agricultural yields and climate change.
