Union workers upstage N.J. environmental groups' campaign against planned Linden plant

Full story: Millville News

Rowdy union workers today upstaged a campaign kick-off by New Jersey environmental groups opposing a unique, coal-fueled electric plant proposed for the City of Linden that will capture its own carbon dioxide output and pipe it under the Atlantic Ocean.

As I predicted. Environmentalists are against carbon capture? Or clean progress?

The town council better wake up and build that plant. Business is leaving and taking good jobs away.Big box stores won't provide middle class paychecks. We are furloughing our city workers because our already high taxes can't pay the bills.The crime rate in Linden is going up because of the dismal economy. Purgen comes along and offers hope, and 7 of our town council members listen to a bunch of college kids, none who are experts on the environment, and squash the plant, and the 4 or 5 million dollars in new tax revenue that comes with it. Makes no sense to me.

FYI, Chris Dagget was glad the plant did not get built. Read it on his campaign website. I just hope another city picks up the plant. The linden mayor was pissed off that it wasn't built. I was happy to read that. I'm hoping Kaplan can deliver us from evil.

"New Jersey should not build new power plants that perpetuate our reliance on fossil fuels, such as the proposed liquefied natural gas islands off the New Jersey shore and the proposed new coal plant in Linden."
