RWE CEO is the “environment-Dino” 2010

The Wildlife Protection Society of Germany has awarded the RWE CEO Juergen Grossmann during the environmental Dino 2010. The CEO received the award for his “unrestrained influence” to the federal government in the life extension of nuclear power plants.

The awarding happens in summer of last year. RWE launched an ad campaign for nuclear power. In addition, the energy giant was also the largest greenhouse gas producer in Europe, as it is said in the notice.

Grossman will receive the “price” personally. According to the letter to Nabu “In the event certainly provides a good opportunity to discuss this very serious issue jointly and publicly,” it says. For the award, he is even grateful – “Who would not when he is honored for his work with the interests not only of his own business but have served the entire economy,” as it said.

The “prize” was awarded to people since 1993, which represented from the view of conservationists outdated environmental standards. In 2009, economist Hans-Werner Sinn received the “dinosaur” award because he had spoken out against the promotion of renewable energies.
