New Power Plant Protest

Several groups opposed to a new coal-fired power plant in Wise County planned to hold a march and rally Monday in downtown Richmond.

A group called the Southern Appalachian Mountain Stewards organized the rally.

They say the protesters will march from the headquarters of Massey Energy to Dominion Energy.

SAMS says the plant will lead to more mountaintop removal mining in Appalachia, and that a coal-fired plant will add pollutants to the air.
