Approximately 50 activists from the Danish group ClimaX blocked the main entrance to a powerplant in Copenhagen owned by the DONG Energy corporation.
The power company plans to start building a coalfired powerplant in northern Germany. This powerplant when completed will double the CO2 emissions of the state. The building of the powerplant have been heavily critizised by the local community and climate organisations. The Danish state owns the majority of the stocks in DONG Energy.
"When the leaders of DONG and the Danish state fails to respect the climate, we react. Denmark will never be a leading country in countering climate changes when they own companies who make power on the worst CO2-polluting way possible" says Daniel Rask from ClimaX.
The action was colourful and creative. Along with noise and colors the activists brought a large wooden windmill with them, which they locked themselves onto.
The action ended peacefully when the blockade was lifted after about two hours.
Climax will continue the actions up until the big climate summit in Denmark in 2009. ClimaX can be reached on the email adress klimax(circle-A)forum.dk .
