And in Virginia, 23 people were arrested amid a three-day protest in
front of Gov. Terry Mc Auliffe's mansion Wednesday, demanding action to
address climate change. The protesters are demanding Mc Auliffe reject
two proposed fracked gas pipelines, force companies to clean up toxic
coal ash ponds and invest in renewable energy. The protest was organized
