🚨🚨 RI has the highest CO2 rate in New England!! The proposed power plant would add 3.6mil TONS of CO2/year. #KRIB keeprhodeislandbeautiful.com…
After four years Invenergy’s proposed power plant was officially denied by written order today! The EFSB made the right decision supported by evidence. Not needed (and certainly not wanted). Thanks @CLF @steveahlquist @burrillville_pp & many others for your work and partnership.
Still valuable to send your comments in regarding the wetlands permit and get a formal request a full EIS on the record if you haven’t done so yet. @UpriseRI @burrillville_pp
Even though the project was denied, today is the last day to comment on the wetland construction permit for the proposed Burrillville power plant. @ecoRInews @keepribeautiful nae.usace.army.mil/Missions/…

Biodiversity experts testifying today @ the EFSB hearing and confirming what environmental groups have been saying all along.The proposed plant would cause unacceptable environmental harm and therefore should not be approved.
Invenergy Attorney Beth Noonan: Is your testimony a “no-build scenario” in regards to the proposed fracked gas and diesel oil burning power plant aimed at Burrillville?
Anthony Zumba, bio-diversity expert: “Uh, yes.”
