Calvert County residents march from Solomons to Cove Point against gas export

On the 30th of May, residents of Calvert County backed by environmentalists marched from Solomons at the southern tip of the county to Cove Point. The ending point was a park close to Dominion's LNG plant, the target of the protest. Dominion has begin construction to convert the old LNG import plant into an export facility for far larger quantities of fracked gas.

The route of the march matched that being taken by "megaloads" being offloaded from barges at Solomons and trucked over Calvert County's narrow roads to the under construction gas plant. Organizers say this was the largest march in the history of Calvert County.

Note concerning the video: the audio track is very low, turn it up to hear a chant of "What do we want? Dominion out!"
