Gas Plant Pushback in New Brunswick | Vancouver News
Description
New Brunswick’s proposed $2.5B–$3.5B natural gas plant in Tantramar is sparking fierce backlash—environmentalists, doctors, and watchdogs are rallying against the project, calling it a rushed, health-harming gamble that bypassed proper oversight. While NB Power touts it as essential for grid stability and renewable integration, critics argue cleaner, cheaper alternatives like battery storage were ignored—and that the plant’s emissions could worsen respiratory illness. With legal challenges mounting and Indigenous consent still pending, advocates vow to keep pushing back until the project is halted or rethought.
