Corp state <br /> program, Planning Committee, introducer: Ford <br /> Dear council members, <br /> I am a retired Commander of the US Navy. I served 21 years as a medical <br /> provider. <br /> I support the resolution 303-12 introduced by Brenda Ford. <br /> From everything I have researched and understand, geothermal <br /> development in populated areas is potentially toxic and dangerous in many <br /> ways, including leaks of toxic gasses, potentially creating earthquakes in an <br /> unstable area, contamination of groundwater and oceans, creation and <br /> storage of toxic waste, and the potential for accidents that require massive <br /> evacuations. These things 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 <br /> is deeply flawed in its conception and execution of its actions, and is likely to <br /> meet many legal challenges. <br /> Thank You for hearing this, Cdr.
