Orange may not be your color. But there's a good chance you won't arrested as you protest coal use in the nation's capital.
After all, Daryl Hannah will be there, with thousands of other activists, surrounding the gates of the Capitol Hill Power Plant and chanting Kumbuyah -- er, "No more coal!" and other green epitaphs.
As welovedc.com blogger Donna C. reports, Capitol Climate Action is being billed as the largest mass civil disobedience for the climate in U.S. history and has been endorsed by 100 organizations, including folks like Hannah, Paul Hawken and Will.I.Am.
On Thursday, Democratic leaders in Congress called for an overhaul of the plant, which supplies heat and A/C to the U.S. Capitol, so it could run entirely on natural gas by the end of this year -- a move organizers say is a step in the right direction.
“In terms of carbon emissions, this plant is small potatoes, but it really is a very iconic symbol,” said Matt Leonard of Greenpeace in The Taipei Times. “It can burn gas or oil or coal and people have fought very hard over the years to make sure it burns coal.”
Organizers say this could be the tipping point in the fight against coal, after years of steady activism.

That was Hannity.
“Climate chaos” is the new lingo, boys and girls.
Loved the part when she referenced eco-nutball Bobby Kennedy Jr as some sort of nonpartisan scientist.
“Democratic leaders in Congress called for an overhaul of the plant, which supplies heat and A/C to the U.S. Capitol”
OK, shut off the heat to all of their offices!
Thanks, I am still smiling at that thought. ;o)
I don’t know... Daryl Hannah of today is NOT the Daryl Hannah of the 1980’s. She scares me now.
Is it now THIRTY YEARS since she debuted in the movie “10”?
I thought it was “Splash”?
Bo Derek was in “10.”
“She needs to sue her plastic surgeon.”
No kidding!I wonder what environmental damage botox has to our environment.
She wouldn’t use global warming but insisted on global chaos! Wants to go all wind and solar but has no clue or doesn’t care what that will do to prices and availability. I wish one of the hosts had the nerve to suggest nuclear as the cleanest and most efficient energy that we should promote. They kind of played with her but when they asked is she was flying to LA she said she was riding the train. I guess she doesn’t have any reason to get back to a job in a hurry.
brian and steve were basically making fun of her to her face, it was hysterical!
These people are morons. Our economy is collapsing, we’ve got a socialist in the White House, we’re being scoffed at by other nations, and these fools think our biggest problem is coal-fired powerplants. These people are ignoramouses who should be laughed at.
Sorry she hasn’t been able to find work in the last twenty years.
I loved the part of the interview when they asked her if she was flying back to LA and Daryl says she was taking the train. Brian says - well then you should have plenty of time for some deep thinking-! Steve pipes up, I hope you don’t sit next to some guy who asks you about Splash!! Real funny stuff.
that was exactly what i was thinking of!! the DEEP THINKING line made me roar out loud. i kept thinking GOD this segment is dragging on, can’t you wait til she is at least off screen before you openly insult her!! it was hysterical.
bttt
Does she still have those long legs? I can forgive her politics if she comes to my indoctrination program.
