Join the Cliffside Climate Action April 20 Charlotte, NC

http://itsgettinghotinhere.org/2009/03/14/mass-rally-and-civil-disobedience-to-stop-the-cliffside-coal-plant-join-the-cliffside-climate-action-april-20-charlotte-nc/

This Earth Day join hundreds from across North Carolina and beyond as we converge on Duke Energy's headquarters to demand that they cancel their climate change time bomb; the new 800 megawatt Cliffside coal plant. If built, Cliffside would emit 6 million tons of CO2 each year, and would be fueled by coal from mountaintop removal mines.

It is clear that coal is killing us. We cannot stand by as Duke poisons our air, destroys the Appalachian mountains, and fans the flames of climate change for the sake of profit. We demand a sustainable, livable planet, free from dirty energy. Honor the Earth this year by coming to Charlotte, NC to take action to stop Cliffside, mountaintop removal, and all new coal plants. The future is up to us. We will stop this plant!
