Anti Coal Protest Hits the Nation's Capitol Power Plant

Ken Ward is reporting in his blog that there are West Virginians heading for Washington DC to protest the burning of coal at the U.S. Capitol power plant. It is being watched by industry groups to see whether there is significant support for the anti coal cause. BNET Business Network says that Senate Democratic leaders Pelosi and Reid are supporting a conversion to natural gas, but that may be playing to the public. The New York ABC affiliate says that groups are going to block entrance to the plant and minor celebrities like Susan Sarandon will be there as well.

Looks like their timing is a little off, as Washington DC is reportedly getting pounded with snow today. Might be a bad day to protest.
