Etowah rendering plants targeted in senator s bill

Sen. Andrew Jones had a strong show of support Thursday as he announced a bill that wouldn t be an outright legal ban, but aims to logistically dissuade any animal byproducts plant from locating in Etowah County. It s the latest salvo in the war against a proposed Pilgrim s Pride rendering plant on Steele Station Road on Gadsden Airport Authority property, and Jones clearly believes this could be the kill shot – by putting in place so many potential costs for such industries that they would choose to go elsewhere. Speaking before supporters at Westbrook Christian School s gym, Jones, R-Centre, said he is filing a bill that would cover any animal byproduct processing facility, such as a rendering plant, that is seeking to locate within 3 miles of a city in Etowah County, if the owners or parent companies have been fined more than $50 million for violations of federal law or regulations since Jan. 1, 2000.

Alabama Power coal ash cleanup estimate grows to $3 3 billion

Alabama Power coal ash cleanup estimate grows to $3.3 billion Updated Dec 16, 2020; Facebook Share Alabama Power expects to spend $3.3 billion over the next several years to close its coal ash ponds, a growing expense that already led to higher utility bills across the state. Last year Alabama Power estimated those cleanup costs to be around $2.8 billion, but the company’s assistant comptroller, Wendy Hoomes, told state regulators last week during a public hearing that the new estimate is $3.3 billion. Last year, Alabama Power increased customer rates by about 3%, citing coal ash clean-up costs as a driving factor. Next year’s 2 percent increase, which takes effect in January, is not tied to coal ash or environmental compliance costs, but other infrastructure costs.
