David Brooks reports in the Nashua Telegraph on the Supreme Court's decision siding with PSNH and against those looking to block pollution controls in Bow.
The last-ditch effort to halt the construction of a $450 million scrubber system at New Hampshire's largest coal-fired power plant has been tossed out by the state Supreme Court.
In a ruling released Wednesday, the court said that opponents of the plan had no legal standing to block a Public Utilities Commission decision allowing the construction to go forward.
PSNH is building a huge "scrubber" and associated processing buildings at the 473-megawatt Merrimack Station plant in Bow, one the state's largest power plants. The scrubber will remove most mercury and sulfur – both serious pollutants – from the power plant's emissions. The scrubber was required by state law. (more)
