Hudson Valley activists protested
Friday in Washington, D.C. over the use of fracked gas at the
Danskammer Power Plant in Newburgh.
Danskammer is currently
proposing to build a new facility in Orange County to meet the demand for power
after Indian Point shut down.
A representative for the company says,
if approved, the new facility would result in lowered emissions and utility
bills.
