Four protesters have been arrested after breaching a perimeter fence surrounding Kingsnorth power station.
Police said the activists were stopped before they reached the inner fence. Four people were also arrested trying to launch a boat on the River Medway. Officers in riot gear and about 15 police vans are stationed in front of the power station on the Hoo peninsula. About 100 activists opposing the firm's plans to build new coal-fired units in Kent have marched to the plant gates. They have said they want to shut it down as part of a day of action against climate change.

Whether it is making a difference or not, it is good to see that people still utilize the art of protest.

What doesn't the gov't understand about fossil fuels not being the answer for our future energy needs while sustainable choices abound?
