Australian Greenpeace Protesters Chain Themselves to Coal Power-Plant Conveyor Belts. New.com (AU), July 3, 2008. "Greenpeace protesters chained themselves to coal conveyor belts at the Eraring power station on the New South Wales Central Coast in a protest against carbon dioxide emissions... Police said they arrested 19 Greenpeace protesters... One of the arrested protesters, Graham Brown, a retired coal miner, said Australia must make a more rapid transition from coal-fired power to renewable energy. 'Renewable energy is the future and it's bright,' he said... Greenpeace says Eraring is Australia's most polluting coal-fired power station. These plants were responsible for half the state's greenhouse pollution, it said, and Eraring was the 'biggest culprit,' sending nearly 20 million tonnes of carbon dioxide into the air every year."
