Mare Island produced nuclear reactors, bombs, and other polluting products for years, so whats the problem with an LNG facility and gas plant?
We are proud of our Naval Heritage and the thousands of courageous, hard-working and dedicated citizens who lived in Vallejo and worked at Mare Island — the most famous and successful shipyard in the United States. But the U.S. Navy closed the shipyard and is required to conduct a massive environmental cleanup to deal with the unfortunate hazardous remnants of the shipyard’s past. Vallejoans have lived for over 100 years with Mare Island’s hazardous operations, but that doesnt mean we need to continue the tradition now that we have a choice. We have an unprecedented opportunity to honor Mare Island’s rich history turn Mare Island into a one-of-a-kind destination where people can enjoy both the history and beauty of Mare Island and businesses can flourish and provide living wage jobs for Vallejoans. This will not be possible with a major LNG and power plant next door.
