This is civil disobedience, not terrorism. Worked for the 60s civil rights movement. I dont see the actions of these people much different than the lunch counter sit ins. They broke the law, they got arrested, they affected change. But not terrorism.
If we'd had RICO and USA PATRIOT Act back then, sit-in organizers would've been charged as a terrorist conspiracy...

Better to just fine the first set of blockaders for criminal trespass. In the second city let the Feds bring felony charges for interfering with "critical national energy infrastructure". And on the third try, give a bullhorn to the engineer and have him shout "No Brakes!"

I do, the counter sit ins were about the rights of citizens to be equal not about being whiny fear driven millennials being duped
You can blame the backward areas of the Midwest for a large chunk of the problem, but fortunately most of the coal plants will be retired and replaced with cleaner sources in the next 5-10 years.

I would be very interested if these protesters stopped you from going to work for a week or two if you would still hold that viewpoint. Like others have stated that there are avenues in which to do this. This is not one of them.
All I see is words, I see no link to the studies data, no reference of how they were performed, no measurements . I also see an article that is 12 yrs old published in a paper that is not well known for it's uh..journalistic integrity .. Try harder because that fell flat on it's pc face.
Edit, because I am a curious type I researched this some and came up empty on any study done by the Journal Bioscience . If you can find direct link to these uh.."studies" by all means post them

Same holds true for those protesters at Lexington and Concord in 1775.
Interesting comparison, totally inaccurate, but interesting. Now I am no fan of Eversource but to my knowledge they have not engaged in forced taxes against the general populace of NH, have not commandeered property for the "kings" soldiers, or have forcibly taken sexual favor from our women.. but hey, interesting comparison!
If China is polluting as bad as it sounds then we should all boycott China goods... Uh Oh WalMart.
I don't know how far the pollution here in the Northeast has spread but, a few years ago people were warned not to eat fish from local ponds as far North as Connecticut.
I'd like to have a meeting with the Pro Coal execs to discuss this pollution and serve local fish... wonder how many would pass?
