Greenpeace activists breached Progress Energy security this morning, Feb. 13. First, they unfurled a banner to a coal conveyor, then they scaled one of the facility’s three smoke towers, where they hung a banner that read, “The climate needs real progress.”
Greenpeace activists supplied this shot of their morning mission to climb a coal-supply ramp and hoist a banner calling for Progress and Duke Energy to “stop destroying mountains.”
