CORP state program Dear council members, I 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.
