Activists Take a Stand at Asheville Power Station

Greenpeace protested the destruction and pollution caused by coal at the Progress Asheville Power Station. Activists secured themselves to the coal loader and conveyers. They scaled the 400 foot smoke stack to send a message to both Progress Energy and Duke Energy that communities and the climate can’t wait for a renewable energy revolution. Coal plants like the Asheville Power Station damage communities and the climate at every stage of their lifecycle: the destructive mining practices, the burning, and the storage of toxic coal ash.
