Wearing mostly black and bundled up against the cold, students from the United World College near Las Vegas, N.M., and Santa Fe's Earth Care International marched Wednesday evening from Warehouse 21 to the PERA building on Paseo de Peralta where state regulators are considering an industry request to repeal a cap on greenhouse gas emissions.

The students plan to protest any reversal of the rule, one of two greenhouse gas rules approved by the state Environmental Improvement Board late last year. The rules would limit the carbon dioxide emissions from large electric utility companies and oil and gas refineries.

More than 250 students and some adults signed up via Facebook to attend the event, called Fighting for Our Future: Youth Climate Action.
