Earthjustice Claims Newark, NJ Gas-Fired Peaker Plant is Racist

The Passaic Valley Sewerage Commission operates the largest sewage treatment plant in the entire state of New Jersey--in Newark. When Hurricane Sandy hit in 2012, the sewer plant lost power and dumped billions of gallons of raw sewage into the Passaic River. The Commission has a plan to prevent that from happening again: Build a tiny natural gas peaker plant to generate electricity. It would only be used to prevent such environmental damage again (i.e., rarely used). Yet Earthjustice and other radicalized leftists accuse the plan to the build the peaker plant as racist.
