COPENHAGEN — Hundreds of climate activists protested Saturday against the use of fossil fuels, but were blocked from entering a coal-fired plant they had hoped to shut down by chaining themselves to conveyor belts.

Police held back the 1,500 or so protesters from entering the coal- and oil-fueled Amagervaerket power station on Copenhagen’s Amager Island, said police spokesman Flemming Steen Munch. About 100 people were taken into custody, Danish news agency Ritzau said.
