SEPTA Gas plant update

12/19/2017

Podcast: Activists Lynne Robinson, Eric Marsh and Marcus Heppinstall talk with Tom Casetta about the proposed SEPTA Gas Plant.

On the December 15th Planet Philadelphia environmental radio show, I mentioned that Tom Casetta had a panel discussion on the GTown Conversations show here on G-Town Radio with activists Lynne Robinson, Eric Marsh and Marcus Heppinstall about the proposed SEPTA Gas Plant. Here’s the link to the podcast. Please do give it a listen. It’s a very informative conversation. I certainly learned a lot even though I’ve been trying to keep up on the issue.
