Father Warren Puno, a prominent environmental activist and leader of the Quezon for Environment coalition, has formally requested that the Department of Energy initiate a comprehensive re-evaluation of the planned 1,200-megawatt coal power station in Atimonan. The proposed energy project is slated for construction along the coastline of Lamon Bay. As the director of the Ministry of Ecology, Puno is advocating for a deeper investigation into the potential impacts of the facility. This call for a fresh review highlights ongoing concerns regarding the development of large-scale fossil fuel infrastructure in the region and its implications for the local environment.
