|  Dear friends, Recent heatwaves and wildfires are a shocking taste of our future if climate change spins out of control. Yet a massive, dirty coal-fired power station is about to built on Kenya's coastline near a stunning world heritage site. Unless we stop it.
Locals are battling in the courts to protect their precious mangrove forests and fishing grounds, and studies show that the coal power would be crazily expensive. But it's not enough -- global megacorporation General Electric is about to bail out the project with hundreds of millions of dollars.
The decision is imminent, and investors are up in arms. If enough of us make this personal to GE's new Boston-based boss, John Flannery, we could stop him signing. When this is massive, we'll take out an ad in a big Boston paper and on a billboard close to Flannery's golf club. Sign now to stop the climate-killing Lamu coal plant. Click to stop General Electric from poisoning paradise General Electric is a mega corporation and its power plants generate one-third of the world's electricity -- Kenyan activists have been battling in the courts to stop this controversial coal plant being built on the historic Lamu archipelago, but they need a groundswell of international support to take on this corporate giant!
Lamu is known for its traditional settlements, mangrove forests, and fishing communities. It's so precious not even cars are allowed on the island! Supporters argue the coal plant will create new jobs, but residents say it will damage their tourism and fishing industries, as well as their unique culture.
CEO John Flannery could be the man that stops it. He's new to GE and already dealing with plummeting stocks, and an investor rebellion on the Lamu plan. His company has backed the Paris climate accord, and he's looking for a new direction. Sign now and tell him to back out of this crazy plan, and invest in renewables instead of dirty coal!
