Last month, the NY State Siting Board ruled that TransGas Energy was required to get NY City approval to use the millions of gallons of East River water necessary to run their proposed electric plant at the Bushwick Inlet (the Bayside Fuel site). The City, which has opposed the project, probably would not grant this permission, thus killing the project (and moving us one step closer to a public park on the site). Trans Gas Electric, not expectedly, has filed an appeal of the Siting Board’s ruling.
Unfortunately, no one seems to be able to put TGE (definitively) out of its misery, so they continue to spend buckets of money on a project that absolutely no one wants to built.
