Greenpeace and more than a dozen other groups are organizing a rally in Montreal to send a m
ssage to the world’s energy leaders during the World Energy Congress; September 12 to 16.
For the energy companies it is an opportunity to do business; sign new contracts; sell more oil, coal, shale gas, dirty tar sands oil or nuclear energy.
We do not want their dirty energy that accelerates climate change and contaminates our environment. It is time to go beyond oil and avoid more BP Deepwater disasters in the Gulf of Mexico, the destruction of Alberta’s Boreal Forest to produce dirty tar sands oil, or the development of gas from shale in Quebec. In Quebec, the Charest government needs to invest heavily in energy conservation and clean energy.
Let us come together to say: enough to oil and gas! Clean energy does not leave marks!
Rally: Sunday, September 12 at 2 p.m.
Place Riopelle (In front of the Palais des congrès de Montréal, the site for the World Energy Congress)
