Protesters march against oil industry leaders at Houston's CERAWeek energy conference
THE HOUSTON CHRONICLE
About 500 protesters from across the country descended on the first day of Houston's CERAWeek energy conference Monday to protest the oil executives and federal leaders gathering for high-level talks downtown.
The annual protest has grown substantially in the past two years, as has the official response by police. This year, the march was corralled by more than 50 police officers, nearly half of them on horseback.
