Stop The Plant

Campaign to stop the expansion of Danskammer, a fracked gas plant on the Hudson River in Newburgh, NY. Danskammer = bad for health, environment & business!

[Stop The Plant @StopThePlantNow]

NRG saw the writing on the wall when @NYSDEC denied an air permit for its Astoria gas plant and pivoted to a clean energy solution. It’s time that #Danskammer made the switch too! #stoptheplant

[Stop The Plant @StopThePlantNow]

Town of Newburgh residents gathered at the library to talk about what could be next for the Danskammer site!

The fight to #stopdanskammer isn't over! Come to the @NewburghFreeLib Thurs 8/11 at 6:45 to hear about the history of the Danskammer site, future possibilities and what you can do to #stoptheplant! @scenichudson @riverkeeper @SloopClearwater @SierraClub @C4LocalPower @NewburghCWP

We represent over 60 businesses & community groups that applaud this decision — it’s one of many steps in the right direction. Danskammer is an environmental injustice for an already-burdened community& it’s against our state climate policy https://t.co/oV2gTR2Mw6 @GovKathyHochul

@NYSDEC @NYSERDA @BasilSeggos @Doreen_M_Harris Please add a #HudsonValley scoping plan hearing! Thank you! #EnvironmentalJustice #climatechange

[Stop The Plant @StopThePlantNow]

@NYSDEC @BasilSeggos @NYSERDA : Please add a Hudson Valley hearing for our state's climate policy implementation plan!

[Stop The Plant @StopThePlantNow]

@BasilSeggos @NYSDEC @NYSERDA @Doreen_M_Harris The environmental justice community of Newburgh, NY has water poisoned by #PFAS & lead, has skyrocketing asthma rates, higher COVID rates than average & is threatened by a new danskammer fracked gas plant. Thank you @NYSDEC for denying the title V air permit. We stand with you!

[Stop The Plant @StopThePlantNow]

Thank you everyone who spoke last night to #stopdanskammer. We'll keep pushing for #EnvironmentalJustice, protecting community health, & fighting the #ClimateCrisis

"The money you're putting into [fossil fuels] means nothing in the light of eternity." -a grandmother at the #StopDanskammer hearing last night.
NYS has denied this gas plant once. New Yorkers want @GovKathyHochul @BasilSeggos to stay strong and preserve our climate law.

[Kelsey Wirth @kelseywirth1]

The end of natural gas has to start with its name. The name natural gas is simply “too dangerous to have around.” Most recommended alternative: "methane gas". (Republicans apparently have favorable views of "fossil gas" and "fracked gas"). https://t.co/7CazGR92Dp

[Stop The Plant @StopThePlantNow]

NY is a climate leader- State must stand firm on Danskammer ruling https://t.co/vw2B4rXUMW @NYSDEC @BasilSeggos @GovKathyHochul #stoptheplant #ClimateCrisis

[Stop The Plant @StopThePlantNow]

Air quality monitors outside of a new gas plant in Dutchess Co show that pollution toxic to public health, along with ghg emissions, is reason enough to transition off fossil fuel! @GovKathyHochul @NYSSitingBoard #stoptheplant #stopdanskammer #protectpublichealth @HealthNYGov

[The River @rivernewsroom]

Greenhouse gases released by burning fuel are a global problem, but air pollution is a local one.

@lissaharris on how local decarbonization will have us living longer and healthier lives, even if we don’t stop global warming.

"The DEC’s decision to protect our community of color from the sharp increase in air pollutants... was clearly mandated by the community protection standards of the CLCPA" @GovKathyHochul @NYSDEC @NYSSitingBoard @BasilSeggos

We're so lucky to have our state climate leaders! Safe travels @BasilSeggos & @Doreen_M_Harris!

[Basil Seggos🇺🇸🇺🇦 @BasilSeggos]

Today @Doreen_M_Harris and I head to #COP26 to represent @GovKathyHochul and NYS. The Empire State is a climate leader, partner and example of what’s possible. Sincerely hoping the gathered nations commit to meaningful action. No time to lose.

[Stop The Plant @StopThePlantNow]

Go @NYSDEC @BasilSeggos @GovKathyHochul! Your leadership on the climate crisis is inspiring for the rest of the nation! #RenewableEnergy #naturalgas

[Stop The Plant @StopThePlantNow]

Yes, thank you @GovKathyHochul, @BasilSeggos + @NYSDEC ! So proud that NY is leading the path to a
healthier environment + better energy future!

[Alex Beauchamp @AlexAtFWW]

Setting up for yet another rally outside a ⁦@GovKathyHochul⁩ event, this time thanking her for rejecting Danskammer and Astoria and urging her to take next step by saying no to LNG vaporizers in Brooklyn!

[Marie French @m_jfrench]

.@NYSDEC made its first two denials of air permits citing the state's landmark climate law today.

This has big implications for future permitting decisions and is a huge victory for advocates who fought the two proposed gas repowerings.

[Senator Michelle Hinchey @SenatorHinchey]

.@NYSDEC's nation-leading decision to deny permits for the Danskammer and Astoria fracked gas power plants is a long-fought outcome that solidifies New York's commitment to putting the health of our communities and economy first. 🧵 (1/2)

[Alex Beauchamp @AlexAtFWW]

Thanked @GovKathyHochul in person and demanded she stop LNG vaporizers in Brooklyn. Sounds to me like she will, judge for yourself here

[Governor Kathy Hochul @GovKathyHochul]

We owe it to the next generation to meet our nation-leading climate and emissions reduction goals.

I applaud @NYSDEC’s decisions to deny Title V Permits for the Danskammer Energy Center & Astoria Gas Turbine Power, in the context of our state's clean energy transition.
