6/30/10 Presentation in Springfield — PurGen and Impacts

Presentation: Exploring the Impact of the Proposed PurGen Coal Plant

Come join the NJ Chapter of the Sierra Club and a coalition of environmental organizations for a presentation on the impact of an experimental coal plant proposed in Linden, NJ.

7 P.M. on
Wednesday, June 30, 2010
Springfield Library
66 Mountain Ave, Springfield, NJ 07081

The PurGen plant will use experimental technology to pump carbon dioxide waste from the plant and store it under the sea floor. PurGen will increase air pollution throughout the area and potentially leak carbon dioxide (CO2) into the Atlantic Ocean.

The coal plant would worsen the already polluted air quality in this densely populated region. Placing a coal plant in Union County would unfairly impose additional environmental hazards on the residents of this heavily industrialized area.
