With boldness and an audacious word pun, Fermiamo il Carbone (Let’s stop coal) coalition launched a new spontaneous mobilization campaign against the most hated fossil fuel by ecologist.
The 38 promoter associations declared on national media they are rather furious about italian government energy policy and, without mincing words, they launched the manifest “We’re black-pissed off. Black like coal”, a slogan clear and illustrative of sentiments leading the protest against the “oldest and dirtiest energy source”.
Largely used like fossil fuel in electrical power stations, coal is the most polluting fossil energy source and, because of the elevate carbonic composition, it’s the main cause of Co2 emissions, climate change and acid rain. Until today, in Italy there are 13 coal-fired power and one of those – in Brindisi - is among the 20 most polluting coal-fired power stations in Europe. Furthermore, it is in progress the conversion of Porto Tolle from oil-fired to coal-fired and another station is under construction in Saline Joniche.
"This decision is against every policy about carbon dioxide emissions reducing – say the coalition in press release – it’s against health, agriculture, tourism, fisheries and occupation development".
"Coal is deadly to humans, environment and dangerous to climate. After the slap on the nuclear (with the referendum wins NO coalition, ndr), energy lobby has decided to invest in coal. They say it’s good. But for who? – is written on the official page of "pissed off" – They do not tell that coal is the main cause of climate change. They don’t consider fatalities in Monterosso and Genova, the flood damage and the fines for unconformity on reducing emissions commitments".
Joining and participating to the campaign is free for everyone and during the first action launched on Carnival, a large number of people step foot in main italian places with black faces dirty of coal. Moreover connecting on official website www.incazzatineri.it it is possible to “flash your pissed off” and create a custom image and, if that's not enough to appease your anger, you can download “pissed kit” containing a selection of stickers, flyer, T-shirt, banner or poster in pdf format.
