With the right resources, could these cases be appealed to higher courts? How long before we catch up with the UK, recognizing here in the states that blocking the development of coal is an act in defense of property, not in violation of it?

To all of you who participated in this action – whether in planning, execution, or support – I commend your sacrifice and leadership, and I thank you for your commitment to our future.
