Sometimes We Need To Be the Leaders Ourselves

This morning Greenpeace activists scaled the Bridgeport Harbor Generating Station coal elevator to demand the aging and dirty coal-fired power plant be shut down. Activist Lauren Thorpe talks about why she feels so strongly about taking on Coal.

i commend your passion but who do you think pays for the study of renewable energy? I hate to break it to you, but its the people who your protesting against. Do you know how much space it would take in wind or solar farms to replace the energy produced by coal and nuke plants? It would take up every bit of forest left in the northeast. I'm sure you would just love that. You cant have it both ways. There has got to be a better cause for you to protest. they are being phased out anyway.

It got shut down 2 years later in 2022 now let’s see how long it takes for them to protest against the natural gas plant that replaced it.
