In addition to this, I live in the footprint of the plant. Unless, you experience the destruction (noise, dirt, light) it would impossible for you to imagine the torture I have gone through. Habitats have been destroyed and this is just the beginning of the deterioration of air and water and the quality of life both for humans and animals. Greed has taken over my neighbors. They have either leased or sold out to the plant. In some cases pitting neighbor against neighbor and it would be interesting to hear the stories underneath the roofs of folks that are having heated discussions re selling the family farm that has been in the family for generations. There are so many people here, including me, that have retired here and built their home for peace, clean air and water. Now, that is gone.
If I had not met the Sierra Club, I feel sure that I would be on some anti-depressant by now. It is a sad, sad day that the PSC did not stand up for the rights of the people they are supposed to serve.
