Protest Planned Against New NYC Power PlantTrans Gas Energy is planning to build one of the largest power plants in New York City on the Williamsburgh, Brooklyn waterfront at North 12th St. This plant would spew hundreds of tons of sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, particulate matter, formaldehyde and other toxic pollutants into the air each year.
There are already 5 existing or permitted power plants along a 1 1/2 mile With all this, it is no surprise that Williamsburg already has childhood asthma hospitalization rates among the highest in the United States! The site for this plant is 2 1/2 blocks from McCarren Park, and 2 blocks from the waterfront park which the North Brooklyn community has fought so hard to bring to reality. There are homes directly across the street from the site.

Trans Gas Energy has filed their pre-application in a licensing process
