En 2022, Scenic Hudson se asoció con jóvenes artistas de The Art Effect para iluminar la zona norte de Poughkeepsie con un mural vibrante. El mural original tuvo que ser retirado debido al deterioro del edificio y al desgaste general.

Se está preparando una nueva obra de arte para celebrar el Fall Kill — nuestro arroyo común que conecta vecindarios, da alimento a la vida silvestre e inspira el descubrimiento del medioambiente.

¿Qué crees que se debería destacar en este nuevo mural?

The Danskammer fracked-gas power plant on the Hudson River in the Town of Newburgh has been operating — approximately five days a year — since 1952. In 2018, the owners of the power plant announced their plans to build an additional plant at the site; this one would run virtually nonstop.

Local environmental groups and citizen activists sprung into action. Lobbying, writing to government officials, holding peaceful protests, and more.

In June 2024, after six years of opposition, Danskammer withdrew their application for a Title V air permit. Under the federal Clean Air Act, Danskammer cannot move forward with their proposal without this permit! This is a huge victory for local communities, the Stop Danskammer Coalition, and everyone in the Hudson Valley and the Northeast!

Ned Sullivan, President of Scenic Hudson says: “This is a major victory for clean air in the Hudson Valley and the Northeast, and will head off the emission of almost 2 million tons of carbon per year. In addition to being terrible for people’s health, the new plant would have been terrible for the climate, too. We thank Governor Hochul, the DEC, and Representative Pat Ryan for their leadership in opposing the permitting of the project. We also commend residents and our environmental partners in the region, who joined with Scenic Hudson in the campaign to stop the plant. The people have spoken! Clean energy is the future in New York State.”

La central a gas obtenido por fracturación Danskammer, situada en el Río Hudson, en la Ciudad de Newburgh, lleva funcionando aproximadamente cinco días al año desde 1952. En 2018, los propietarios de la central anunciaron sus planes de construir una planta adicional en ese terreno que funcionaría prácticamente sin parar.

Grupos ecologistas locales y la ciudadanía involucrada en activismo entraron en acción: Presionaron, escribieron a funcionarios del gobierno, organizaron protestas pacíficas y mucho más.

En junio de 2024, tras seis años de oposición, Danskammer retiró su solicitud de permiso Title V (sobre calidad del aire). En virtud de la Clean Air Act (Ley federal sobre Aire Limpio), Danskammer no puede seguir adelante con su propuesta sin este permiso. ¡Esta es una gran victoria para las comunidades locales, para la coalición Stop Danskammer Coalition, y para todas las personas que residen en el Valle del Hudson y el Noreste!

Ned Sullivan, Presidente de Scenic Hudson, afirma: “Es una gran victoria para el aire limpio en el Valle del Hudson y el Noreste que logrará evitar la emisión de casi 2 millones de toneladas de carbono al año. Además de ser terrible para la salud de las personas, la nueva central también lo habría sido para el clima. Agradecemos a la gobernadora Hochul, a la DEC y al Diputado Pat Ryan por su liderazgo en oponerse a la autorización del proyecto. También elogiamos a la población residente y a nuestros socios ambientalistas de la región, que colaboraron con Scenic Hudson en la campaña para detener la central. ¡El pueblo se ha pronunciado! La energía limpia es el futuro del Estado de Nueva York”.
