WV-DEP Hearing for Gas-Fired Plants Reveals Ammonia Plant was Axed

Last Thursday, MDN informed you about a public hearing scheduled for that day by the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection (WV-DEP) for the Adams Fork Energy Project in Mingo County (see WV DEP In-Person Hearing Today for Ammonia/Power Plant Project). We now have coverage of what happened at the event. There were two main bits of news coming from the hearing: (1) The owner of the land where a much-ballyhooed ammonia plant would have been located, a plant that would turn natural gas into ammonia, is "off the table" and won't get built. (2) Most of the people who attended, nearby residents, don't want the two gas-fired power plants to be built there.
