Few details available, though there is this from The Brattleboro Reformer:
More than 1,000 people gathered near Entergy’s headquarters on Thursday, to protest the continued operation of the Vermont Yankee nuclear power plant.
There were dozens of police officers patiently waiting the people who were going to trespass on Entergy’s property and get arrested in civil disobedience.
Most of the group walked from the Brattleboro Common to the headquarter along Old Ferry Road congesting traffic along Route 5 for two hours.
The protest was the largest in Vermont in the past 25 years.
The Reformer’s Facebook page is doing lots of updates, including sharing videos and photos from the protest. I know there have been several (peaceful) arrests, but I’m not clear on how many of those were at VY or at the Entergy NE HQ in White Plains, NY (also reported by the Reformer).
when compared with the thready little string of individuals who appear in the photos on the Yesvy.blogspot site for their corporate sanctioned demonstration on St. Patrick’s day
Where were all those “600 employees” Entergy is always going on about? Surely all 600 of them weren’t on the job, and therefore unable to demonstrate their support, that particular Sunday.
Public servant and blogger, Senator Philip Baruth was arrested today at the protest. I couldn’t be prouder of him.
