and see how many doctors there are here and how many lawyers. And, I’ll tell you, there’s a lot
<br />more lawyers then there are doctors.
<br />So, that’s what’s going to be happening, you know in the future. That is what you will be seeing,
<br />and you will be testifying to the fact of your involvement in this. Like you said, you have—you
<br />have control over the asset fund, and we want to know show me the money. Where is it? Where
<br />has it gone? And, we wanna know where the pollutants are; whether the how much comes out;
<br />how much goes in; and where does the rest go. And, this is a fact of law, and this will be
<br />brought up in the courts, and this will be determined by judges, either at the County, State,
<br />Federal level through the, the judicial process, which is the only way to do it legally.
<br />Because we have not been able to form a committee of people who are concerned, or who are
<br />informed enough to have conflict resolution here ‘cause we do have a conflict here, if we cannot
<br />resolve it as, as community, as neighbors, as it’s people, then we have to take it to court, and that
<br />is what I’m here to tell you. This is what’s going to happen, and there’s no way to stop it. It’s
<br />like a steam roller. And, it’s on such a minor scale as to the people in the energy commission
<br />couldn’t even believe that I was standing there one, one guy, a carpenter. And they thought we
<br />were some huge movement to stop geothermal ‘cause they had heard so much about it, and they
<br />have a building as big as our capitol with 12 stories on it. Each one deals with gas, oil,
<br />geothermal—each one deals, it’s the California Energy Commission.
<br />So, you know, you just have to ask yourself, how are we going to deal with this? How are we
<br />going to resolve this conflict because it will be in the courts soon, and if we can’t do it amongst
<br />ourselves as neighbors as they did in the Lake County, Air Quality Management District, then
<br />the courts are gonna have to mandate what it is. And, it’s gonna be much more expensive to the
<br />County, to the developer, and to us. Our money that could be used for other things for the people
<br />who are needy in our community.
<br />So, I appreciate you listening to me, and thank you for your time.
<br />HEAUKULANI: Thank you, Mr. Alexander. Commissioners, any questions for this testifier?
<br />Thank you, sir. I don’t see anyone that hasn’t already testified. Commissioners, I would
<br />entertain a motion to close public testimony.
<br />IKEDA: Move to close public testimony.
<br />HEAUKULANI: Thank you, Commissioner Ikeda.
<br />MOSES: Second.
<br />HEAUKULANI: Second by Commissioner Moses. Any discussion? All in favor signify by
<br />saying aye?
<br />COMMISSIONERS: Aye.
<br />HEAUKULANI: Any opposition? Hearing none, the motion to close public testimony carries.
<br />I think that is it. We just need to move on I believe to approval of the February 4, 2016, minutes.
