Rhode Island Commits Energy Suicide – Rejects Gas-Fired Plant

Last September MDN told you that a new natgas-fired electric plant planned for the People’s Republic of Rhode Island in Burrillville was on life support, with antis reaching to pull the plug (see Proposed Rhode Island Gas-Fired Plant on Life Support). In March we told you the project wasn’t dead quite yet (see Proposed Rhode Island Gas-Fired Plant Still has a Pulse). But in May, the patient took a turn for the worst, going into arrhythmia (see Future of Invenergy’s Rhode Island Gas-Fired Power Plant “Uncertain”). We’re sorry to report the patient has died–at the hands of the RI Energy Facility Siting Board.
