Daryl Hannah pipes up, gets arrested
The “Splash” star, who has been detained multiple times for her environmental activism, was detained by police yet again during a demonstration in protest of the Keystone pipeline plan, ABC News reports. Police said Hannah and her fellow protesters declined to move off the sidewalk in front of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
“We stand here today to just say no to slavery, to just say no to tar, sands, oil, and no to the Keystone pipeline,” Hannah told the crowd about the plan, which would be one of the biggest pipelines in the country.
Tar Sands Action says the pipeline will pump 900,000 barrels a day of “the world’s dirtiest oil” from Alberta, Canada, to refineries in Texas.
“We want to be free from our dependence on foreign oil and fossil fuels. If Obama approves of this Keystone XL pipeline … it would be a disaster. These pipelines, it’s not ‘if’ it’s going to spill, it’s ‘when’ it’s going to spill,” Hannah told ABC right before her detain.
