Biomass plant voted down
THE SUNDAY NATION

KRABI: -- A 9.9-megawatt biomass power plant planned for Ao Leuk district in Krabi may not eventuate, after most of residents who attended the third public hearing for the plant voted against it yesterday.

The residents said the plant, to be built in Tambon Na Neu, would be within 500 metres of a school and community and the project didn't reveal possible negative impacts nor give clear solutions.

Ao Leuk Corporation Co Ltd held the third public hearing yesterday to explain the project and hear opinions of residents. The one-hour gathering was attended by 300 residents as well as representatives from related provincial agencies and ended with most residents voting against the project.

These simpletons can actually sell previously discarded organic waste and have that converted to cheap power. A win/win green alternative.

I guess it's better than fighting against the 9 coal fired plants dear leader wants in Krabi.

Going against the coal industry shortens your lifespan.

within 500 m of a school would be questioned in most countries and declined, they should have sorted that in the feasibilty study, there are bvisously gonna bve problems with any type of power plant that close to a school. ...... grumble normal ignorrance...... grumble grumble.....piss up in brewery... incompetance

The proximity of the proposed plant to the school and community suggests that land ownership was the criteria for placement rather than environmenal or operational concerns. Perhaps the plant owners can buy enough local votes to reverse the rejection.

ignorance is ignorance, except for forced removal of local school and population - China- there is still no way such a plant could or even should go ahead, would you want to live that close?

A biomass plant if bad managed is a both very smelly and a dangerous. I was once close to a junkyard in Thailand. I never saw such big flies and they immediately bite you and infect you with something....
