Regardless of your feelings about whaling, you have to admit the fight just got a whole lot more interesting. Check out this video of a Sea-Shepherd-manned (from Whale Wars) carbon-fiber, biofuel-powered EarthRace Trimaran blinding a Japanese whaling boat with lasers.
Looks to us like the laser is mostly for warning and intimidation, which probably works considering they're zooming around in a ferocious-looking 1080-horsepower, 78-foot trimaran. The crew manning the EarthRace is the Sea Shepherd society, which you might know from Whale Wars, where they're usually getting outwitted and outgunned in a boat nowhere near as cool as this one. The MV Steve Irwin, which is the ship followed by Whale Wars, travels a maximum of 16.5 knots—this EarthRace hits 50, which actually lets them chase down and intercept whalers.

Hannah Fraser, along with sister Jasmine who both now work with activist father Andy Fraser, is seen swimming with giant whale pod, in support of 'climate change' awareness, in the new video for Fraser's worldwide free download "This is the Big One" -

It seems Hannah may have bigger cahones than even her hot-blooded father, when it comes to issues she believes in. (She is featured swimming with 14 ft Great White sharks : release date 2010 - National Geographic special on sharks).
Andy Fraser, the reclusive icon from the 70's rock band FREE and writer of the monster anthems 'All Right Now' and Robert Palmer's 'Every Kinda people', who surfaced recently with his album "Naked... and finally free", a response to global media reports of his death from AIDS, confirms he is battling AIDS and has come to terms with being homosexual. After being married with two daughters, he has come out once again to not only proclaim he is very much alive, but intends to stay so, and catastrophic climate change doesn't help.
Fraser is standing with campaigns such as Avaaz.org, TckTckTck, Repower America, and Al Gore, to help promote the message of catastrophic climate change by releasing "This is the Big One", and in an unprecedented move to further the message, a link allows fans to forward the song to friends worldwide for FREE. http://www.andyfraser.com/bigone.html
"I love my car, electricity to power my studio and refrigerated food, but we need to find a better way, or we're all screwed. First of all we need to get a strong international agreement in Copenhagen come December 2009, but we must invest in alternative energies, and pull our heads out of the sand regarding the reality of the condition our planet is facing", said Fraser.
While putting the final touches on a new full length CD, "Andy Fraser.... on assignment", holding back the release of the long anticipated Concert footage, "Alive" with a mini-documentary, and discussing offers of a full length documentary of his life story, Fraser has felt this issue takes precedence and seems hot-headed enough to do something about it.
To further the message, Fraser is sponsering a video competion, to win ipods and an autographed Bass guitar from his personal collection.

Greenpeace said yesterday it had chased Japanese whalers out of hunting grounds in the Southern Ocean, disrupting the planned slaughter of almost 1,000 whales.
The Greenpeace vessel, the Esperanza, chased the main Japanese ship, the Nisshin Maru, through hundreds of miles of thick fog after spotting the whaling fleet on Saturday, the group said. The fleet's catcher ships fled in another direction and will be unable to hunt as long as they are separated from the Nisshin Maru, which processes and stores captured whales. "Now they are out of the hunting grounds they should stay out," said Sakyo Noda, a Greenpeace campaigner from Japan.Greenpeace said yesterday it had chased Japanese whalers out of hunting grounds in the... more
