Does this sound familiar?: Company pulls plug on gasification plant in North Las Vegas
The company behind a proposed gasification plant that would turn waste into electricity in North Las Vegas has withdrawn its application from the city due to concerns from residents who live near the proposed site.
A representative of Florida-based EnviroPower Renewable Inc. informed the city council at its Wednesday evening meeting the company was no longer pursuing the project[.]
The gasification plant would have burned up to 1,000 tons of construction and other waste per day to generate up to 48 megawatts of power. EnviroPower Renewable officials said their gasification technology is more advanced than the trash-burning incinerators of previous decades, repeatedly assuring residents and city officials that the plant would produce minimal levels of pollutants well within air quality guidelines and that it wouldn’t smell.
Still, residents pushed back against the project, voicing concern that any amount of pollution is too much with homes as close as half a mile from the plant’s proposed site.
Congratulations & thanks to NoBurnNLV and to the people of North Las Vegas for yet another example of successful self-defense against waste gasification!
Why would anyone think it’s a wise investment?
