Canadian Firm Pulls Power Plant Vote, Vows Future "Public Engagement" Battle
Bad project, bad location, bad process - this whole thing should be scrapped. This site is close to a high-density residential area. This fifty acres is part of greenbelt of MHPA protected land in Rose Canyon, stretching from just east of I-805 to the 52. As an urban nature preserve, this greenbelt is actually THE most valuable land in the Golden Triangle, part of the last remaining vestiges of what the entire area was like a mere 30-40 years ago. This land is part of the Rose Creek watershed, which drains into Mission Bay - protecting the watershed helps protect the water quality of Mission Bay. We don't need another fossil fuel burning power plant in San Diego. Yet the Mayor's staff spent years secretly working on a deal to turn this 50 acres of MHPA protected land over to a profit-making company to build a massive 850 MW plant. Neither the public nor the city council knew this fiasco was going on.— June 28, 2012 5:08 p.m.
