"Sometimes it's necessary to sacrifice your freedom for a greater freedom. And we want to be free from the horrible death and destruction that fossil fuels cause, and have a clean energy future," Hannah told the celebrity news Web site.

Hannah was previously arrested in West Virginia in 2009 during a protest against mining practices.

Hannah, 50, is best known for her work in the films "Splash," "Wall Street," "Steel Magnolias" and "Kill Bill."
