No to Coal Plant in Subic Bay - Facebook

Our No to Coal Plant in Subic Bay is Facebook Group, while it has its advantages, I believe we can reach more people by creating a Page. (unfortunately, an FB group can't be converted to page na madadala ang existing members, it has to start from scratch)

The solution would be to move the group's discussion into a blog for the public to read and be optimized in the search engines. Then create a page to host our comments for public consumption... our FB group can still be used for discussion specially for topics limited to members.

Nasaang side ba talaga si Governor Ebdane? Mukhang malabo. Ang pinapalabas nya daw dyan ay "Eco-Friendly" daw ang coal plant, yon ang kaalaman ng karamihan daw na nariyan sa Zambales. Yon daw ang position ni Governor Ebdane. Looks like the common tao is being fed wrong information. Kaya ba walang nangyayari sa protesta ninyo, dahil kasinungalingan? Governor Ebdane, please correct this misinformation, if it is!

    • Thelma Dela Paz Kaso nga Buraot Delgado, misinformed ang ibang tao dyan, naniniwala na lang basta kung anong sabihin sa kanila. Kailangan ng intensive public education, dapat gawin sa lahat ng eskwela, bukod pa sa media. Teacher pa nga ang source na nagsabing "Eco-friendly ang coal plant ayon daw kay Gov. Governor Jun Ebdane". Maaring maling information, kaya we're giving the good Governor the benefit of the doubt, asking him to come out himself and declare his stance on this issue, and let his constituents know.

“The social acceptability of the project is questionable and considering that this is the most important requirement for the issuance of the ECC. Several months after Aboitiz Power and the SBMA Ecology Center made a presentation before the provincial board regarding the project, the individuals and organizations that allegedly had accepted or endorsed the project had never submitted any documents to justify the legality of the issuance of the ECC,” the Zambales second chief disclosed.

      • Alex Corpus Hermoso Kindly forward this to our friends at SBFCC. Someone there is making us believe the the Coal Plant in Hawaii will similarly co-exist with commercial and tourism hub like Subic Bay. And how about the Fluidized bed combustion (FBC) technology which seem to be a better Taiwanese Technology. Read on....

        In HAWAII:
        The Hu Honua plant emit more particulate pollution than many coal plants. The plant also emit between 200 and 300 tons of carbon monoxide per year, which is treated by EPA as a proxy for organic pollutants like formaldehyde. The plant will emit over 6 tons of formaldehyde and 5.74 tons of benzene per year.
        Partners For Policy Integrity
        Author: R. Wiles Published April 22,2011

        In 2006, Hawaii's sole coal-fired power plant produced 1.6 million tons of CO2, 900 tons of sulfur dioxide, and 1,000 tons of nitrogen oxide;

        This coal-fired power plant was responsible for 7.6% of the state's total CO2 emissions

        In the USA: some information:Along Delaware canal 44.8% colorectal cancer
        In Kenton 22.4% above average for ALL cancer cases
        In Millsboro 29.8% for lung cancer
        In Wilmington 21.1 % for prostate cancer

        by Cris Barrish , The News Journal

        Fluidized bed combustion (FBC) technology is not Taiwanese Technology
        FBC boilers was first used in eastern Pennsylvania in 1987.
        FBC burner are more complicated than normal pulverized coal power plants

        Waste coal has higher concentration of mercury than normal coals ( 4X than bituminous coal) PAHs from FBC are more than normal coal burners due to their use of limestone injections , their lower combustion temperature range , the low rank coal being burned and the higher levels of chlorine and sulfur in the fuel. The addition of extra limestone can promote the formation of PAHs in the FBC system. The total PAH emission increases with an increase in sulfur content of coal. Some ash particles can still pass the Electrostatic precipitators and transported into the atmosphere. Treatment of FBC ash with N2O4 increased its mutagenic potency (cancer –causing property) by as much as 3200 times .CFBC plants contain PAH that readily cause bacteria to mutate.

He really dont' know what is all about Fluidized Bed Combustion (FBC) - he's just parroting the desperate propaganda line of RP Energy. Pagkatapos niyang tumiklop ay nagsabing pang tapos na daw ang laban. They may have won some battles, but there are more hard battles ahead. DEFINITELY, THE WAR AGAINST COAL PLANT IS NOT YET OVER.

      • Ramon Groesbeck Lacbain II Hindi puede magpasa ng ordinance kasi po may existing coal plant na sa Zambales na pinayagan ng dating gobernador ng Zambales. Pero hindi naman tinutupad ng planting ito ang mga pinangakong pakinabang na para sa probinsiya ng Zambales, bayan. ng Masinloc at barangay ng Bani sa kabila ng matinding perwesyong dulot into sa kalikasan at kalusugan. Mayroon din tayong pambansang batas ukol sa kalikasan na hindi puedeng balewalain basta ng isang ordinansa.

Ebdane, ng Sangguniang Panlalawigan, ng bayan ng Masinloc at ng barangay ng Bani ang planong expansion ng AES coal plant sa Masinloc. Nais ng AES na magdagdag pa ng 700megawatt capacity na coal plant pero HINDI PO PUMAPAYAG and lahat ng namumuno sa Zambales.

      • Butch Lab Kung hindi pa humihinto ang operation nitong coal fired plant , eh bakit hindi ipadala ang mga pulis sundalo at patigilin ang operation habang naguusap pa kung ano ang dapat gawin at nag-hihintay ng decision para sa paghinto o pagtuloy nitong project. Kung baga sa crime alam na nating may magaganap na pagpatay(sa kalikasan) eh di ipadala ang mga pulis para maihinto ang pagpatay, lalo na kung alam nating may napatay na(kalikasan sa Masinloc). This is simple analogy. Eh ang mangyayari nito dalawa na ang mapapatay bago kumilos ang kinakaukulan.(Subic at Masinloc). Teka muna sino ba talaga ang makapangyarihan dito sa situation na ito ang gobyerno , tao, o ang mga tycoon na nagpapatayo nito.
