Is a "green energy" project about to stink up an entire community?
In this gripping episode of the Okotoks Podcast, host Carlin Lutzer sits down with Foothills County resident Benita Estes, who lives a mere 200 metres from the proposed Rimrock biodigester project.
With 4,600 complaints already filed over existing feedlot odors, the community is rallying against what many fear could be an environmental and quality-of-life disaster.
Benita breaks down the origins of the project, the questionable consultation process, and the staggering scope of this industrial-scale biodigester—slated to be among the largest in the world.
From exploding digesters to unfiltered waste lagoons and a surge in heavy truck traffic, this episode sounds the alarm on a project set for approval on June 11th, and urges residents to take a stand before it's too late.
