In environmental news, thirteen activists were arrested Monday as they blockaded the offices of Dominion Power in Richmond, Virginia, to protest the company’s decision to build a new coal-fired power plant in Virginia. The group Blue Ridge Earth First said it would continue to protest at Dominion until the company cancels plans to build the coal plant and stops burning coal mined through mountaintop removal.
