31 Arrested at West Virginia Anti-Coal Protest
----------------------------------------------



Back in the United States, thirty-one people were arrested Tuesday
during an anti-coal protest at a mountaintop removal site owned by
Massey Energy. The demonstrators refused to leave a road outside a coal
storage silo that neighbors an elementary school. Among those arrested
were NASA scientist James Hansen, actress Daryl Hannah and former
Congress member Ken Hechler.
