PA DEP to Hold Air Permit Hearing for Long-Running SWPA Power Plant

Despite claims by anti-fossil fuelers that the Tenaska Westmoreland Generating Station in southwestern PA would spread disease and death if built, it’s been up and running since 2018, producing power and generating revenue for both its builders and the community. Oh, and everyone is in good health. However, the plant has been operating under a state permit since it opened. It needs a federal Title V permit for long-term operation. The state Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) is the agency that issues such a permit and is proposing to do so, which (of course) has antis’ knickers in a twist (see PA DEP Signals Title V Air Permit for Long-Running SWPA Power Plant). In particular, antis complained that no public complaint sessions are scheduled. They will get their wish. The DEP will hold a public complaint session on Feb. 4. Get ready for a freak show.
