Amid the ongoing climate crisis, environmental activism is undoubtedly on the rise in Hudson County, and the battle against the planned NJ Transit power plant in Kearny continues. Kearny Mayor Alberto Santos joined public health experts, local residents and environmentalists at a forum on Monday evening, November 14 to raise awareness about the dangers of building a new methane gas-burning power plant in South Kearny. The forum, held at the Kearny Public Library and organized by members of the Don't Gas the Meadowlands Coalition, gave speakers a chance to discuss the project's risks to residents' health and the environment throughout Hudson County and the clean energy alternatives that would provide a better solution.
