...plant--a major industrial facility burning millions of gallons of fuel oil each year for the generation of electricity as well as the production of steam and the operation of an incinerator, located on Brookline Avenue in the middle of a group of hospitals--would clearly have a serious adverse environmental impact in the Medical School-Hospital area and in the City of Boston and the surrounding area, regardless of what steps are taken to minimize that impact. The many large trucks--an average of 18 or more each day--required for the delivery of fuel oil to the plant...
Last spring a venerable steam locomotive pulling 25 red, white and blue cars chugged out of Wilmington, Del., on a 17,000-mile, two-year Bicentennial tour of the U.S. It was the American Freedom Train, a private, nonprofit project financed through $5 million in gifts from five U.S. corporations and billed as "a birthday gift to the American people."

The eleven institutions, collectively known as the Medical Area Service Corporation known as the Medical Area Service Corporation (MASCO), claim that because of modern design a private oil-burning power plant can produce cheaper electricity more reliably than the competition Boston Edison...
Neither group buys the contention that Harvard has recently put fourth, that the housing cannot be built without the power plant. The developers claim that housing money is so tight that there are no funds for the complex to have its own steam boilers, so the power plant is a must...
