NJ Antis Still Haven’t Given Up on Blocking Tiny Newark Gas Peaker

The Passaic Valley Sewerage Commission operates the largest sewage treatment plant in the 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, only for emergencies). We told you last week that the ultra-liberal Phil Murphy administration approved the project (see Murphy DEP Approves Plan for Newark, NJ Gas-Fired Peaker Plant). Anti-fossil fuel fanatics are going berserk over Murphy's approval.
