On today’s show:  we hear from Barry Rothfuss and Pam Novak, co-directors of the Atlantic Wildlife Institute, about their concerns over a proposed natural gas power plant for Centre Village, just four kilometers as the crow flies from their Cookville property. Rothfuss and Novak are asking why NB Power has opted to have the 10-turbine, 500 MW plant built in a relatively pristine rural setting, smack dab in the middle of the Chignecto Isthmus.
