Climate change activists paddled outside of New England’s last active coal power plant on Sunday to call for its owners to stop burning fossil fuels. They are advocating for the New Hampshire plant to be transformed into a renewable energy facility.
Climate change activists gathered near New England’s last active coal power plant in Bow, New Hampshire, on Sunday to call for its owners to stop burning fossil fuels. They are advocating for the plant to be transformed into a renewable energy facility.
“This police response to nonviolent and lawful activity represents a severe violation of activists’ right to free speech and assembly,"the statement said. The Merrimack Generation Station sits on the banks of the Merrimack River. A small group of boaters can be seen paddling in the river, Oct. 29, 2023. from New England grid operators for the first time. The power plant has been paid hundreds of thousands of dollars a month in return for guaranteeing to generate power when needed, such as during extreme cold snaps. Starting in 2026, it won't have that source of money for its coal-fired power generation.
“We really want to uplift this moment and hope that the owners of the plant and anyone that has decision making power in the future of the plant will choose solar, choose renewable energy, choose a future that won't hurt the community of Bow."Rebecca Beaulieu, a spokesperson for the climate advocacy group 350 New Hampshire, said the group of activists had planned to hold part of their demonstration on River Road near the coal plant, but did not because of the police presence.
