CLEANING COMPANY TARGET E.ON ON NATIONAL DAY OF ACTION
At 07.45 this morning E.ON offices on Pall Mall were targeted by the new
upstart Coal Cleaning Company as part of a nationally co-ordinated Day of Climate Action against False Capitalist Solutions.
The Coal Cleaning Company launched their enterprise with E.ON as their
first customer. According to the chatty cleaners, “There’s no mess too
big! We make coal Fossil Fuel Fresh ™”.
The climate activists targeted E.ON for their promotion of ‘false
capitalist solutions’ to climate change. E.ON is exploiting the idea of a
future Carbon Capture and Storage system to justify building a new coal
fired power station at Kingsnorth - where the utopia of low-impact living
// education // high-impact direct action that is the Climate Camp will
spring up this August.
CCS requires up to 40% more coal per unit of electricity than coal
generation without CCS. So more coal needs to be burnt; increasing the
overall pollution caused. It also neglects to address the wider problems
of over consumption or deal with coal’s other social and environmental
impacts.
The Coal Cleaning Company can be contacted on 07790 430 620 for onsite
interviews and updates.
