Corp state program, <br /> Planning Committee, introducer: Ford <br /> Dear council members, <br /> We support the resolution 303-12 introduced by Brenda Ford. <br /> Geothermal development in populated areas is potentially toxic and dangerous in <br /> many ways, including leaks of toxic gasses, potentially creating earthquakes in an <br /> unstable area, contamination of groundwater and oceans, creation and storage of toxic <br /> waste, and the potential for accidents that require massive evacuations. These things <br /> must be studied in detail. <br /> An EIS must be required in every project related to developing geothermal <br /> power. Public input must be required before approving projects. <br /> The Public Land Development Corporation needs to be abolished, as it is deeply <br /> flawed in its conception and execution of its actions, and is likely to meet many legal <br /> challenges. <br /> Mahalo, <br /> James & Tracy Hedgecock <br /> O <br /> Comm.
