Woodfin Power Plant

Oh my God.
What are these people thinking?

The Buncombe county commission has leased land to Progress for $1 to start the process of building an OIL FIRED power plant in Woodfin.

But, since they know it will be opposed, they claim it will only be used 10% of the time and for "peak" shortages.

Hmmm. Seems like the NNW winds we have here will blow all that smog right downtown. Wonder if they knew that when they leased the land?
