...nobody counted on community opposition, or the State Department of Environmental Quality Engineering (DEQE). Together with MATEP--which community representatives invariably refer to as "Harvard"--the trio locked horns in 1977. The community claimed MATEP's proposed diesel engines would spew large amounts of potentially harmful nitrogen dioxide into their backyards...
...weeks ago, another DEQE official said yes, but with certain strings attached. Willard R. Pope '63, counsel to the agency, said MATEP could have its diesels, if it promised not to emit more than 200 micrograms of nitrogen dioxide per cubic meter, to shut off the diesels if it exceeded the limit and--crucially--to pay for a backup utility in case the diesels had to be shut...
...state Department of Environmental Quality Engineering (DEQE) suggested that MATEP be allowed to install the diesel engines it needs to produce energy. Way back in January 1978, another DEQE official said "no" to the diesels, and community groups--which fear the power plant may send clouds of noxious nitrogen dioxide into their homes--let out a resounding cheer...
...uses a heavy blue ink that has many of the same properties as rub ber cement (refills are available in black and red). About 100 times thicker than honey, it is contained in a cartridge in the pen's barrel, which is pressured with a charge of nitrogen gas; the gas forces the ink onto the pen's ballpoint when it is pressed against a surface. In effect, an antigravity pen, it can be used in any position. The writing can be rubbed out with an ordinary eraser up to several days later; thereafter the ink fully hardens...
Lawyers for the University, however, also introduced national experts in environmental medicine who argued that nitrogen dioxide does not become dangerous until it reaches a level of at least 400 micrograms per cubic meter...
