Gippsland, Thursday, August 11, 2005:* Greenpeace is today taking on the developed world’s most greenhouse-polluting power plant, Hazelwood power station in the Latrobe Valley, as extreme weather conditions batter Victoria.

Greenpeace activists, this morning occupied a loader in the brown coal pit at Hazelwood and awarded the plant ‘1st prize’ as the developed world’s most polluting power station. Activists also laid a banner in the coal pit reading ‘Coal fuels climate change’ (C) Dean Sewell / GREENPEACE
