Activists Block Entrance to RWE Coal Plant in Eemshaven
The new executive director of Greenpeace Netherlands Anna Shoemakers is one of the Greenpeace climbers hanging on a line between two wind turbines. Greenpeace blocks the coal ship ‘Paquis’ which plans to unload coal from Russia for the largest coal-fired power plant in the Netherlands. She has spent the night at the rope.

Activists Block Entrance to RWE Coal Plant in Eemshaven
In Eemshaven, Greenpeace activists block the coal ship ‘Paquis’ which plans to unload coal from Russia for the largest coal-fired power plant in the Netherlands. The blockade is accomplished by stretching a rope above the water between two wind turbines on either side of the harbour and attaching three Greenpeace activists to the middle of the rope. Among the activists are the brand new executive directors of Greenpeace Netherlands: Anna Shoemakers and Joris Thiessen. The activists are hanging ten metres above the water, holding a banner with the message: "Coal: Gone with the Wind." Greenpeace calls on Dutch politicians to close all coal-fired power plants in the Netherlands without delay and fully embrace wind energy.
