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