Chesapeake Bay Foundation Says Proposed Va. Power Plant is Racist

A natural gas-fired electric power plant planned for Charles City County (near Richmond, Va.) by NOVI Energy known as C4GT (Charles City Combined-Cycle Gas Turbine) is officially dead as of last month (see Richmond, Va. Gas-Fired Power Plant Project Gets Canceled). NOVI had been working on the 1,100-megawatt project for over six years. An even larger plant planned for the same general area, the 1,650 MW Chickahominy Power Station (a project of Balico) is still in the works (see Virginia Approves Marcellus-Fired Power Plant Project Near Richmond). Since anti-fossil fuelers can't seem to block the Chickahominy project, they're playing their last card, the card they reserve when all else fails. Antis say the Chickahominy plant is racist.
