snoop1130 Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 A group from Na Bon district of Thailand’s southern province of Nakhon Si Thammarat rallied in front of the Royal Thai Police headquarters today (Thursday), to protest against the planned construction of two bio-mass power stations. Vichai Rattananok, representing the protest group called “Save Na Bon”, told the media that most people in Na Bon district make a living from their fruit orchards and rubber plantations and they do not want the bio-mass power stations to be built close to their communities, fearing that the environment and their health may be put at risk. He also said that the protesters are concerned that, in the future, the two plants may switch to coal or other fossil fuels, which will pose an even greater threat to their communities.

Bio mass power stations can burn the crop that is otherwise burnt directly on the fields . If they filter out the toxic particles of that smoke , there is nothing that can be said against this . A big improvement to air quality compared to the ' wild ' crop burning ... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chilly07 Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Excellent news as long as they filter out greenhouse gases. Farmers probably worried that they will be forced to use them at a cost rather than poisoning the rest of us by burning their fields 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
