Activists marched in downtown Charlotte to protest against the expansion of Duke Energy's Cliffside coal power plant. The action, in which 44 people were arrested, is one of a string of protests that have followed a major civil disobedience at the Capitol Power Plant in Washington in March. The events are designed to convince civic and business leaders to act immediately to address the clear danger posed by coal-fired power plants to the environment and the economy.
