We would be hard pressed to recognize the lands we live in and travel through today as they existed less than 10 generations ago, as would those early adventurers and the original caretakers of this land if they caught a glimpse today of how far we've progressed. Today we are being asked to believe a power plant fueled by the cleanest of fossil fuels, that will still add hundreds of tons of pollutants to the air, will only create a minimal impact. Seventy million dollars have already been spent downstream on the Susquehanna to restore the American shad and striped bass to this river. Unfortunately, scientific studies say otherwise. The promise of tax revenues, a few more jobs and economic progress are being offered throughout the commonwealth as compensating factors in exchange for the degradation of our environment for generations to come.
Money comes, and money goes.
The quality of our lives and the future of our public natural resources should not be for sale at any time at any price. It may be your last and best opportunity.
