City Done With Powerplant Site Search

by The Editors on December 9, 2008

The City of Carlsbad has thrown in the towel on plans to help NRG find a different location for their proposed powerplant, according to a story in the San Diego Union-Tribune.

In a letter to NRG Vice President Tim Hemig, Carlsbad municipal projects manager Joe Garuba wrote: “Carlsbad believes that our coastline is a precious resource and it is not an appropriate location for industrial land uses.” . . . Without NRG’s cooperation, “the city recognizes that its individual efforts (to find an alternative site) are meaningless,” Garuba added. . . A copy of the letter, dated Dec. 1, was sent to the state energy commission.

Seems the industrialization of the lagoon will continue, sadly.
