Re: Resolution 303-12 : about abolishing Public Land Dev. Corp state program, Planning
Committee, introducer: Ford
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.
Thank you, Douglas Orton , P.O. Box 1502, Pahoa,Hi, 96778
Comm. No. 43. 7
