Quit Coal Campaign-Victory in Greece

Another feather in its hat, Greenpeace has successfully convinced the Greece Govenment to halt its coal plant expansion plans. the Greek Minister of Development has stated that the government is not considering hard coal or nuclear power as part of Greece's energy future. Instead the Greek government will be rewriting its Long-Term Energy Plan to exclude coal and promote renewable energy and energy efficiency.
