Ecologist Says Power Plant Will Pollute More Of Mountain Empire

ABINGDON, Va. - Pollution from the new coal-fired power plant proposed for Wise County would cause negative health and economic effects across the Mountian Empire region, an ecologist told local activists at a Wednesday meeting.

"The haze that we see today, as I noticed driving up through Mountain City and Damascus and all of that ... there's nothing natural about it," said Matthew Wasson, program director of Appalachian Voices, who said he was speaking for the five environmental groups leading opposition to the plant.
