US citizens: call on KEPCO not to invest in a coal-fired power plant in Vietnam.

Here's the personal message I sent.

I understand that KEPCO is considering investing in the Vung Ang 2 coal-fired generator.

Viet Nam is far away from South Korea, but the disaster of global heating will affect just about everywhere on earth. Your country will not be spared. As a secondary point, coal is likely to be banned in a decade or two, so your investment will not pay.

So that the people who are young today can have a normal life span, I implore KEPCO to reject this plan, and all coal-related projects, and to invest in civilization's future by promoting renewable energy.

Yours sincerely,

One way to keep the GAFAM from having power over you is not to allow them to find out who you are. Don't have accounts on their sites. If you use them anonymously, block their Javascript (which probably fingerprints browsers to track people, and contact them through Tor.

But we can't defeat them by protecting ourselves individually. We need to organize to defeat them and take away their power.
