Last year at the CTL Conference (http://www.clean-coal.info/drupal/2007ctlconference) Bill Price from Environmental Justice was involved with putting together an organized protest that included a fly-over. Maybe he already has put together something for the annual Coal Conference. I am adding him to this thread.
Interesting to note that the interim President of WVU will be a speaker, too, along with Bush, but no real surprise.
