It's great to see that some people still care about our precious natural resources and water supply, and are not fooled by what is basically just a small temporary economic benefit.

My partner works at the ALCOA building, and he said that a coal barge berched itself on the North Shore adjacent to the protestors as a counter-protest.

Saw pieces of this protest crossing through downtown and stopping briefly outside of Three PNC. It was LOUD. Props.

Who's idea was that? Pretty lazy attempt at a counter-protest if you ask me. Nobody is going to think twice about another barge moored against the shoreline.

I saw them go through downtown when I was grabbing lunch. Given their various signs, seemed they were protesting coal, oil, gas, nuclear energy - guess they have the secret to clean cold fusion to share or something unless they think electricity is produced by magic.

Though seeing the participants I think you could have made a killing selling dime bags & bob marley posters on the protest route.

What is a dime bag these days? What you get for $100?

The world would be better off if the dime-bag Bob Marley crowd was in charge of it instead of the corporate psychopaths that routinely destroy everything in their path to make a buck.

$100 will get you about an ounce of bad weed or half of better stuff

I haven't smoked pot in decades, literally. All it ever did was make me thirsty and paranoid, sometimes really scary paranoid. It cost $20/oz. for the good $#!^ the last time I smoked it. What seems funny to me now is how dealers in the '70s would tell you one batch was especially wonderful because of the (what I now know are) pesticides or herbicides used to grow it. "Paraquat" was a highly sought-after variant, c.1970.
