Dear Friend ,

New Jersey's coastal waters are in serious danger from a proposed coal project. Right now a Massachusetts company wants to build a coal energy and fertilizer plant here in NJ and bury carbon dioxide pollution under the sea floor. Sounds pretty crazy to me, how about you?

Tell Governor Christie to protect our oceans and stop the proposed coal plant today!

The coal plant, called PurGen, is proposed for Linden, NJ, where it would use an experimental technology to compress carbon dioxide waste. The waste would be pumped through a 138-mile pipeline and forced down into the seabed off the coast of Atlantic City…forever.

This unproven technology called carbon capture and sequestration has not been tested for "forever" or even long-term. This experiment would take place in the most densely populated region of the country. An accident could have disastrous effects on marine life, or worse. 

Check out our video on the proposed plant and tell Governor Christie to Stop PurGen today!

This costly project would continue our reliance on dirty coal and waste money that could be spent on proven, renewable resources. Let's stop PurGen and help make New Jersey a coal-free state.

Sincerely,

Christine Guhl
