🚨🚨 RI has the highest CO2 rate in New England!! The proposed power plant would add 3.6mil TONS of CO2/year. #KRIB https://t.co/4VwdtSZUyg

After four years Invenergy’s proposed power plant was officially denied by written order today! The EFSB made the right decision supported by evidence. Not needed (and certainly not wanted). Thanks @CLF @steveahlquist @burrillville_pp & many others for your work and partnership.

[Keep RI Beautiful @KeepRIBeautiful]

Still valuable to send your comments in regarding the wetlands permit and get a formal request a full EIS on the record if you haven’t done so yet. @UpriseRI @burrillville_pp

[Tim Faulkner @CapnBinz]

Even though the project was denied, today is the last day to comment on the wetland construction permit for the proposed Burrillville power plant. @ecoRInews @keepribeautiful https://t.co/g9UY1IfGqG

[Keep RI Beautiful @KeepRIBeautiful]

Power Plant Denied! So grateful for the community partnership and legal advocacy from @CLF! Jerry Elmer from CLF received a hero’s welcome. Truly a win for the citizens of Burrillville, citizens of Rhode Island, and the Environment. @CLFMoses

Breaking News: Invenergy’s proosed power plant denied by the Energy Facility Siting Board. The plant is dead! @CLF @UpriseRI @ecoRInews @burrillville_pp

[Keep RI Beautiful @KeepRIBeautiful]

As part of deliberations regarding approval of the proposed plant happening now, EFSB chair Margaret Curran declares Invenergy did not meet the burden of proof regarding need for the plant. Board member Janet Coit agrees. Discussion continuing.

[Keep RI Beautiful @KeepRIBeautiful]

This is it! Open Meetings start today. The EFSB will vote to approve or deny the power plant proposed for the forest of Northern RI. Attend in person at the PUC offices at 10 AM or attend virtually via live broadcast. https://t.co/cAh5IjN7bU @burrillville_pp @ecoRInews @UpriseRI

Biodiversity experts testifying today @ the EFSB hearing and confirming what environmental groups have been saying all along.The proposed plant would cause unacceptable environmental harm and therefore should not be approved.

Invenergy Attorney Beth Noonan: Is your testimony a “no-build scenario” in regards to the proposed fracked gas and diesel oil burning power plant aimed at Burrillville?

Anthony Zumba, bio-diversity expert: “Uh, yes.”

@UpriseRI @burrillville_pp @KeepRIBeautiful @ClimateActionRI

[Keep RI Beautiful @KeepRIBeautiful]

@lester_frost @billmckibben It’s true. Citizens and groups from our statewide collation have carpooled and spent their own money on buses & shuttles, including the “Eco Bus” from @EJLeague, to participate in years of hearings, rallies, and municipal meetings. 36 local cities/towns are now formally opposed.

[Keep RI Beautiful @KeepRIBeautiful]

Thank you @billmckibben ! And thank you to so many of the organizations that have helped us! @CLF @ClimateActionRI @SaveTheBayRI and so many more 💓

[Bill McKibben @billmckibben]

Big proposed fracked-gas plant in RI may be in trouble, thanks to relentless organizing. Many thanks to all who have fought!
