On Wednesday, 130 doctors, medical providers and professors sent a letter to Governor Murphy, asking him to reject a permit for a fourth gas-fired power plant in Newark.

Hundreds of trucks cross the Newark neighborhood daily, which is why residents say they can't take a fourth gas-fired power plant.A volunteer tallies trucks during the Ironbound Community Corporation’s annual truck count.

“We urge you to deny the air permit for the PVSC power plant in favor of a solution that utilizes one hundred percent, zero-emission, renewable energy,” the letter said. “Doing so would be consistent with Governor Murphy’s environmental justice commitment and climate goals, and decrease further harm against the people of the Ironbound community as well as the whole of Newark.
You have more exposure in certain communities like here in Newark and you also have more susceptible individuals who have pre-existing conditions like asthma, heart disease. You can think of it as really being like a triple whammy.
Christi Peace, a spokeswoman for Murphy, said the administration “remains committed to avoiding or reducing factors that could contribute to existing public health and environmental stressors in overburdened communities across our state.”
