Floating Carbs

An unusual cloud over Rotterdam, December 9, 2008, 10:15 AM. A Greenpeace demonstration.

 

Several demonstrators had attached themselves to the office building near the E-on power station. Electricity is generated here by burning coal, which puts carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

 

The demonstration caused a lot of delays on the nearby highways because of distracted drivers slowing down.

 

The balloons in the symbolic cloud have the text CO2.

 

The slogan on the yellow banner says e-on, help ons klimaat niet naar de kolen. This freely (and poorly) translates to e-on, using coal is nuts Can anyone here suggest a better translation?
