"Twenty-three people were arrested Wednesday as the fight to stop fossil fuel infrastructure erupted in  Virginia, according to groups staging the civil disobedience.

Some 50 people picketed Gov. Terry McAuliffe's mansion, part of a coalition of environment and social justice groups demanding a stop to coal ash, fossil fuel energy development and a fracked-gas pipeline that will bisect the state.

Among their targets: The 301-mile Mountain Valley Pipeline, designed to bring gas from the Marcellus and Utica shale plays in Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia to a connection with the national grid in southern Virginia."
