Greenpeace activists target EDF Paris HQ in anti-nuclear protest

Greenpeace activists blocked access to the Paris headquarters of French power utility EDF on Wednesday in a protest against the company's nuclear activities. Some 30 activists of the environmental organisation scaled the front of the building close to the Champs Elysees and unfurled a banner with a picture of EDF Chief Executive Jean-Bernard Levy. The banner stated EDF was 74 billion euros ($79 billion) in debt, which would continue if it pursued its nuclear policy.
