They also plan to attend the Springfield Select Board meeting tonight where a member of the group has been given the opportunity to speak on behalf of those citizens in the community who feel strongly that the power plant being proposed for North Springfield is not acceptable for here, or anywhere.

Supporters of the North Springfield, Vt., Action Group gather Saturday in protest of a proposed biomass plant in a mixed use, residential area in that community. If built, the plant would be located at the Precision Drive Industrial Park in North Springfield.Activist Randy Susman, Ph.D., on the faculty of the Stony Brook University School of Medicine in New York, said health, public safety, economic and environmental concerns for people who live near such a plant are his concern. Susman owns a home not far from where the proposed plant would be. To focus only on the not-in-my-backyard-issue is to mischaracterize the group s work
NO Nuclear!
ReplyDeleteNo solar, if its in my backyard.
No Wind, if it blocks my views
No Biomass, if its anywhere near me.
And I don't want to pay more for electricity!!!!

DeleteThere is no need to create more power in Vermont. We have enough on the grid and usage is only going down as people continue to become more resourceful.
DeleteWhat about when they close vermont yankee?
DeleteAmen!
ReplyDeleteHey Dick--lets put it in your yard. Then everyone will be happy.
ReplyDeleteI'd let it be in my yard, I can imagine the rent I'd collect! You idiots, I mean taxpayers will send my kids to college and my wife and I would be cruisin the streets of Springfield in our new Bentely. Let me know where you are on the way
DeleteDream on sucker
DeleteI'd like to see every individual against the biomass to approach the town with a proposal to bring jobs and tax base back to springfield.
ReplyDeleteThe biomass plant will employee 30 when all is said and done and they most likely will not be from Vermont. The residents of Springfield, north springfield and surrounding area will be subjected to particulate matter and other such harmful emissions like lead, mercury,...increased truck traffic traveling on a road that is two small and homes within feet of the road--and just who do you think will maintain those roads (not the state) and who do you think will be paying the tax incentives for this plant to go in (which is not evern green) ...yes, lets kill off a few folks, including our forest so that we can continue to raise temps---all for 30 jobs and a tax base that is going to cost Springfiled more just to maintaine it--ask your town where the numbers are to support this. I have not seen any?
DeletePlease...no comments that contain facts about the dangers of biomass burning and pretty please no facts about how this is just another taxpayer boondoggle project designed to line the pockets of a select few while emptying those of the taxpayers. On another front Springfield Medical Care Systems (SMCS)remains silent about the health issues this plant will saddle the entire local population with but they are concerned enough about smoking to ban smokers. Your healthcare professionals at work.
DeleteNO O h NO it's about the trees and saving bambi .
Deletewho cares if we die from lung cancer and the doctor's stay rich .
Hey I didn't say do it, I said if you are against it offer other, in your opinion, more viable solutions to the challenges facing our town. Spin positive!
DeleteAdults such as those pictured disgust me. They drag their children out as unwitting pawns for something they engineered themselves. Can pretty much assure you, they all voted for Scumlin, Martin, Emmons, Nitka, and McCormack. Idealistic, technically ignorant buffoons that choose to play politics mandating alternative energy.
ReplyDeleteYou NSAG schmucks fully deserve to be sucking the downwind emissions you're responsible for.
c'mon bolt job.... These folks moved to N. Springfield VT. Probably took everything they had just to get there.
DeleteN. Springfield was a picture perfect small New England Towne.
A Biomass plant is the last thing anyone ever thought about in the entire town. Now it is stairing them in the face.
Mrs. "The Machinist" answer the following question.
If there are even any people from the ENTIRE TOWN of N. SPringfied who want a biomass plant there, AND I DO NOT MEAN OUTSIDERS, only N. Springfielder's who want the development, what do THEY look like and where is a picture of them ?
This picture is historic already, where is yours ?
They did move near an industrial park and a pretty empty one at that...
DeleteMost people who live near the industrial park have lived there for awhile, the "hustle and bustle" is nothing new to us.
DeleteHey Bolt Job...ever heard of integrity where adults that can think for themselves stand up for what they believe in. You teach that integrity to your kids. There will be a lot more kids taking leadership roles in saving this planet--the one that folks like you wish to destroy because of your ignorance. Irene and Sandy and midwest drought should prove a thing or two to you--but you have not evolved enough.
Delete"N. Springfield was a picture perfect small New England Towne"...in exactly what era of the distant past was that true? Its going into an industrial park that was previously populated by vacant and deteriorating factory buildings before Win-Stanley took an interest in the town, give me a break.
ReplyDeletehow about right now,
DeleteAxlerod .... get out of the house much ?
Your looking at one of the most fantastic superbly hidden gems of today's world.
North SPRINGFIELD VT , everywhere else IS less civilized .
you obviously don't know your history. North Springfield was and is picture perfect and was intended to house light industry.
