| Citizens
of Trumbull have organized to fight together to stop FuelCell Energy from building
a power plant in Nichols. Before it can start construction FuelCell Energy must
win approval before the Connecticut Siting Council which is tasked with, among
other things, “working to protect Connecticut's scenic, historic, and recreational
values." We must stop this Connecticut Siting Council approval by letting
the Connecticut Siting Council know support for Connecticut business and clean
energy does NOT have to include sacrificing its communities...Visit
