Don’t forget that Hansen takes part in these protests while he’s on a paid vacation funded by myself and my fellow Americans.
From the YouTube notes:
Daryl Hannah, NASA scientist James Hansen and former W.Va. Congressman Ken Hechler were among 31 people arrested at a non-violent protest of mountaintop removal coal mining near Massey Energy’s Goals Coal processing plant on June 23, 2009.

Lock them up and throw the keys away. Left unchecked, these people will be indirectly responsible for the deaths of thousands and possibly millions, if they help to cripple the world’s critical, reliable, proven energy infrastructure.
‘Renewable’ energy has nowhere near the potential to replace nuclear, petroleum and coal powered electrical energy generation. The standard of living of every soul on this earth stands a devastating shock, should energy become significantly less abundant.
