The Proposed Coal-Fired Power Plant in Rogers City, Michigan, Part 2By jenkuz, Section News
The Citizens For Environmental Inquiry started as a group of five citizens of Presque Isle County who totally believed Al Gore's Inconvenient Truth. They made it their mission to go out and spread the word about how America's quest for excellence must be stopped, and how Rogers City's progress must be forever shut down. The first thing they did after they formed was send letters to the editor of The Advance casting dispersions against Wolverine Power and argue against sustainable power. Under the guise of education and innocent prying, they went about turning inquiry to examination, investigation, and environmental activism. They went from, "Hey, we just want to know what there is to know," to filing lawsuits to demand the State of Michigan define CO2 as a pollutant and make the levels of allowable CO2 considerably less than any major progressive factory could match. In short, and to borrow a popular phrase, they want Wolverine to fail.
In the July 6th, 2006 Advance, it was reported that Wolverine sent a bus of nearly 25 local citizens to their operations in Gaylord and Cadillac in an effort to help explain what could happen in Rogers City. They explained that the proposed site in Rogers City could very well be a CFB (Circulating Fluidized Bed) technology plant that seems to be a perfect fit to the area. CFB technology uses limestone to mix with coal in a sort of boiling fluid. "The limestone removes the sulfur and converts it into gypsum." Advance 7/6/06
Now, if Wolverine needs limestone to make this plant a reality, it seems to me that Calcite's title of "crushed and broken" by Businessweek may just turn around. Read more...Jennerationx
