I have e-mailed all the Spanish speaking Greenpeace offices I could find. I've also notified the US Greenpeace office. I am in total shock over this. A friend taht works for the power plant in Puerto Plata has informed me that those byproducts are HIGHLY toxic and made up of carbons and chemicals.

I am extremely shocked by this.

While listening to the Santiago morning show (Monumental) over the internet the hosts explained that this was something believed to be 'helped along' (better translated as -- someone padded a wallet nicely to help get this approved) by tourism investors from the East side of the island to hinder the progress of the Samana area. Samana having the infamous whale migration was brought up for discussion and the guest speaker informed, that if ONE whale were to die, THEN this would cause world headlines.
