Protesters in town for the RNC took a bus ride down to Apollo Beach on Thursday to support an environmental protest at TECO Energy's Big Bend power station.
Environmental activist group Earth First! had chained themselves together in the road leading up to the plant, and police worked to free them from their constraints. No arrests were made, and the protesters left peacefully.
Earth First! spokesperson Leah Rothschild said they chose the Big Bend station for their action because it's Florida's dirtiest power plant and TECO helped fund the RNC.
