Beatrice Bernzott 100126

Beatrice Bernzott has been fighting to protect the environment of Linden, N.J., for the past 35 years. She is the founder of both the Tremley Point Alliance and the Arthur Kill Watershed Alliance. She spoke to Linden City Council Jan. 26, 2010, opposing the proposed Purgen coal plant. The issue was whether the City should sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to end its litigation with DuPont and allow DuPont to sell its land to SCS Energy (Concord, Mass.) for the PurGen 750-megawatt "clean coal" plant (which intends to bury 700 million tons of carbon dioxide beneath the floor of the Atlantic Ocean) . The MOU legally binds the city to support the PurGen project in all its applications for permits and approvals. After testimony from citizens, City Council adopted the MOU unanimously.
