Cleaner SouthCoast air will come with a price tag

While the environmentalists and most SouthCoast residents dance on the future grave of Somerset's Brayton Point coal-fired power plant, the people of Somerset are in a world of worry.What it boils down to is, when that plant stops polluting the air across SouthCoast all the way to the islands in 2017, as it has for years at who knows what costs in our health, the host town is going to have to go cold turkey on the taxes.That belching monstrosity pays about one-third of the town's property taxes, and has for years. Take it away, as the owners plan to do in four years, and then what? Can a town of 18,000 people cut spending by 30 or 40 percent?

"There are a lot of moving parts," he said.I will be honest with you. I cannot feel complete sympathy for the plight of Somerset. That's because for a long while I and my family lived in Swansea, on Gardner's Neck, only about a mile or so from the power station across the Lees River.

People who had lived there since the 1960s remembered how scenic and lovely Brayton Point was before the plant was built. Now for decades they have had to look at the thing spoiling their waterfront views and whacking their property values, not to mention the pollution.It has been much the same across the Taunton River,There are a range of materials currently being used to make vegan alkyd resin shoes some of which provide very good quality. in the south end of Fall River.
