El 17 de marzo, el permiso para la incineradora de basura de 4.000 toneladas por d\u00eda planeada para el \u00e1rea de Curtis Bay-Brooklyn Park-Hawkins Point en el sur de Baltimore, MD, fue declarado inv\u00e1lido por el Departamento de Energ\u00eda y Medio Ambiente de Maryland, poniendo fin finalmente a a\u00f1os de protestas por parte de residentes locales y sus aliados de todas partes de la ciudad y la regi\u00f3n.ver historia anterior de ILSR aqu\u00ed<\/a>).<\/p>\n

La compa\u00f1\u00eda que propone la planta, Energy Answers International, no hab\u00eda comenzado la construcci\u00f3n de la instalaci\u00f3n dentro del plazo establecido en el permiso.<\/p>\n

Energy Answers tambi\u00e9n tiene obst\u00e1culos en Arecibo, Puerto Rico, donde tambi\u00e9n se propone una planta similar a la planeada en Baltimore.<\/p>\n

En primer lugar, la planta necesita basura para quemar. Hasta la fecha, las ciudades que rodean Arecibo en el \u00e1rea metropolitana de San Juan se han negado a acordar enviar su basura a la planta. Los alcaldes en Puerto Rico son muy poderosos y se han negado a considerar una tarifa de vertedero de $$40 por tonelada, adem\u00e1s del viaje de ida y vuelta de 80 millas desde el \u00e1rea metropolitana densamente poblada de San Juan. La Autoridad de Desechos S\u00f3lidos de Puerto Rico ha aprobado la planta a trav\u00e9s de un contrato que los municipios amenazan con impugnar legalmente, ya que esta agencia no controla el flujo de basura en las ciudades de la isla. \u201cLa compa\u00f1\u00eda sabe que este proyecto no es viable, pero est\u00e1n tratando de forzar este incinerador por la puerta trasera ejerciendo presi\u00f3n pol\u00edtica sobre las agencias. Todos sabemos que este es un mal proyecto que tendr\u00e1 un efecto negativo en la salud humana y el medio ambiente\u201d, dice Ingrid Vila, presidenta de CAMBIO y coordinadora del esfuerzo para detener la planta.<\/p>\n

El Sierra Club de Puerto Rico y la organizaci\u00f3n ambiental Misi\u00f3n Industrial tambi\u00e9n apoyan este esfuerzo.<\/p>\n

Otro problema que enfrenta la planta es una fuente de agua. Hasta la fecha no se ha identificado ninguna fuente con \u00e9xito. Las autoridades gubernamentales han rechazado una fuente, la extracci\u00f3n de agua de la Reserva Natural del Humedal Ca\u00f1o Tiburones.<\/p>\n

La instalaci\u00f3n tambi\u00e9n tiene que encontrar financiaci\u00f3n en medio de la peor crisis econ\u00f3mica que la isla ha enfrentado en d\u00e9cadas. El gobierno de EE. UU. est\u00e1 considerando un paquete financiero para ayudar a la Mancomunidad a abordar su deuda de miles de millones de d\u00f3lares. La deuda adicional para la planta ser\u00e1 de cientos de millones de d\u00f3lares. Pagado en 20 a\u00f1os, los costos de capital alcanzar\u00edan m\u00e1s de $1 mil millones. Energy Answers ha solicitado a los Servicios Financieros Rurales del USDA que proporcionen garant\u00edas de pr\u00e9stamos para el proyecto. \u201cPor la informaci\u00f3n que hemos recopilado, esta agencia nunca ha garantizado una planta de basura a energ\u00eda como esta\u201d, se\u00f1ala Vila. La agencia se especializa en mejoras de infraestructura h\u00eddrica en Puerto Rico.<\/p>\n

En muchas ciudades y condados de Estados Unidos, despu\u00e9s de que los ciudadanos y las peque\u00f1as empresas derrotan las propuestas de incineradoras de basura, las pol\u00edticas se centran en el reciclaje, como en Los \u00c1ngeles, Austin, el condado de Alachua, Florida, Seattle y el condado de King, Washington, Portland, Oreg\u00f3n, y Worcester, Massachusetts. Los organizadores anti-incineradoras tanto en Baltimore como en Arecibo no solo est\u00e1n trabajando para detener las malas plantas, sino que tambi\u00e9n abogan por el reciclaje, el desarrollo econ\u00f3mico y la cero basura como alternativas.<\/p>\n

El movimiento anti-incineraci\u00f3n en Puerto Rico impulsa la adopci\u00f3n de una estrategia de Basura Cero para promover la reducci\u00f3n en la generaci\u00f3n de desechos y aumentar el reciclaje en la isla. En ese esfuerzo, apoyaron la prohibici\u00f3n de bolsas pl\u00e1sticas adoptada por ley en 2015; promueven la adopci\u00f3n de una ley de dep\u00f3sito de envases y presionan por el desarrollo de la regulaci\u00f3n necesaria para el compostaje y los desechos electr\u00f3nicos.<\/p>\n

Puerto Rico actualmente recicla solo el 14% de su flujo de desechos, lo que brinda un amplio espacio para la creaci\u00f3n de empleo y el desarrollo industrial en esta \u00e1rea.<\/p>\n

Neil Seldman e ILSR han trabajado con organizaciones ambientalistas y profesionales de base locales en Puerto Rico, as\u00ed como con la Autoridad de Desechos S\u00f3lidos de la Mancomunidad y la EPA de EE. UU. Regi\u00f3n 2, promoviendo el reciclaje, el desarrollo econ\u00f3mico y la basura cero.<\/p>\n
