nbc4.com - News - Gasification Machine Removed From Anacostia Parking Lot: "WASHINGTON -- The big antipollution machine that almost got former Mayor Marion Barry involved in a fight with a prominent D.C. minister has been moved to a less-populated area of the city.

The experimental gasifier was relocated from Anacostia Friday. It's now near the Blue Plains sewage treatment pant in Southeast on land used by the city's transportation department.

Earlier this week, Ward 8 Councilmember Marion Barry got into a dispute with the Rev. Willie Wilson when the gasifier was put in a parking lot across from Wilson's church for a planned demonstration Thursday. Wilson said it was dangerous and he didn't want it there.

Barry is supporting the machine's inventor, who says it can cheaply turn waste products into clean water and efficient gas for electricity.

The demonstration of the machine, which was blocked by Wilson, now will be held sometime after Thanksgiving, according to Barry's aides."
