The Proposed Danskammer Expansion: Fact vs Fiction: What it Means for Rockland County and Beyond

 

Join Hudson Valley environmental activists, local elected officials and climate leaders for a webinar discussing the proposed Danskammer fracked gas power plant expansion. This proposal, if approved, would turn a seldom used “peaker plant” in the Town of Newburgh, which currently runs less than 5% of the year, into a fully operational fracked gas-fired power plant operating 70% of the time. The virtual panel will include information on the health and climate risks of the proposed Danskammer expansion and what it will mean for the Hudson Valley from community leaders, with suggestions for what action you can take. You will hear from: Hayley Carlock, Scenic Hudson Manna Jo Greene, Hudson River Sloop Clearwater Vanessa Agudelo, Peekskill City Council NY State Senator Jen Metzger Tim Guinee, Climate Reality Leader Rob Pinto, Communications Workers of America Local 1120 Rick Ufford-Chase, Stony Point Center … and more
