After a gathering in Marshall Park in uptown Charlotte, a crowd of about 300 protestors marched on Duke Power headquarters, speaking out against the utility's expansion of its coal-fired Cliffside Steam Station in Rutherford County. With the crowd chanting "Arrest Jim Rogers," referring to Duke's CEO, several dozen protesters lined up to cross a pink spray-painted line that defined Duke's property and were cuffed by police and placed in waiting vans. Groups organizing the protest said 44 people were arrested for trespassing. No incidents of violence were evident during the three-hour demonstration.
