PeregrineThis seems incredibly suspicious. If I were in a position of power at all, I'd be wanting to call for an investigation over NB Power trying to sneak this gas plant in under our noses. #nbpoli https://globalnews.ca/news/11899800/nb-power-gas-plant-prevent-blackouts-executive-says/
Yeah, this doesn't help my anxiety over my well running dry or my house being in the path of the next wildfire. #canpoli #nbpoli https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/new-brunswick/susan-holt-drops-carbon-price-promise-9.7230231

Harold Jarche"As a question of risk, you have the information Madam Premier. When that risk becomes a reality, you will wear the result. It will be you who must answer for the awful consequences of this. There is now no excuse for allowing this project to proceed."
It looks like New Brunswick has stopped monitoring #Covid levels in wastewater. The latest records are from late April 2026. At least nearby Halifax, NS shows low levels for 24 May.
The Energy & Utility Board of New Brunswick has approved a 500 MWh methane/diesel powered electric generating plant on the environmentally sensitive Chignecto Isthmus that connects Nova Scotia to the mainland and is an important migratory route for species at risk.
Let's stop it before it's too late!
Meanwhile, in Australia
"Batteries counter the long-used arguments against renewables – that they are unpredictable and intermittent and therefore put extra burdens on a national grid which must have an expensive backup power source such as gas in place. Instead, batteries mean solar power can be stored and used when it is needed."
No real alternatives analysis. NB Power presented a false binary: gas plant or nothing. The letter calls out this framing directly and identifies utility-scale BESS, virtual power plants, and demand-side management as proven, deployable alternatives that deliver equivalent grid reliability without imposing a localized health burden on a rural community.
Professional accountability. Engineers and environmental consultants are bound by codes of ethics requiring them to place the safety, health, and welfare of the public above all else. Presenting regulatory compliance as a guarantee of medical safety — while omitting startup emissions from scope entirely — is a direct breach of that ethical obligation.
