From Life Cycle Analysis:
Bringing to a dramatic close the successful POWERSHIFT 2007 conference in Washington, D.C., hundreds of youth and community members converged on a downtown branch of the financial giant Citibank yesterday. In a unique "direct action," they dumped a half-ton of coal on the doorsteps of Citibank.Looks like it won't be the last.
A delegation of coal-field residents and students went inside to denounce Citibank’s investments to their customers and employees. Out in the street, hundreds of youth began coughing violently, with a massive “die-in” surrounding the bank that shut down them down for the rest of the day.

I don't think I'd want to celebrate these people's victories in place of an independent capability to do the same things.
Now they must do the numbers and see the real problem with trying to simultaneously eliminate carbon and nuclear. Renewables and efficiency may help, but they will not provide the entire solution.
But, of course, I am "preaching to the choir" on this...
