Michael Brune, executive director of Rainforest Action Network (RAN) was one of the at least 15 people arrested today in front of Massey Energy's Goals Coal plant in Sundial, WV. The protest drew approximately 150 people protesting mountaintop removal coal mining and an additional 150 coal miners who were there to counter-protest.<br />
The protest rally at Marsh Fork Elementary School featured musicians and speakers -- both were constantly interrupted by the counter-protesters throughout the day. The peaceful demonstrators marched in silence, two by two, towards the Massey Energy-operated Goals Coal Plant, where about 200 coal miners and their wives were waiting for the peaceful protesters, including NASA scientist James Hansen, actor and activist Daryl Hannah, and  94 year old West Virginia statesman Ken Hechler, who were among the 29 people arrested.
