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