Key Hearing on Surry Coal Plant on Mon., Nov. 23!

by: Eileen

Tue Nov 17, 2009 at 11:07:05 AM EST


Old Dominion Electric Cooperative wants to build the largest coal plant in Virginia in the Hampton Roads region. On Monday, Nov. 23rd, the Surry County Planning Commission is holding a public hearing on whether to grant local zoning approval for this controversial plant and allow ODEC to amend the Comprehensive Plans of Surry County and the Town of Dendron. This is a crucial time to speak out against this monstrosity of a coal plant and to maintain control of the direction of our communities!

The proposed plant, located only a few miles from one of the Commonwealth's greatest treasures, the Chesapeake Bay, would poison surrounding waterways with 116 pounds of mercury per year. The plant would create nearly 60 tons of poisonous coal ash a day, to be stored in Surry County, and would increase the demand for coal extracted using mountaintop removal mining. In addition, it would add nearly 15 million tons of global warming pollution to our air every year.

Please plan to attend this critical meeting on Monday, Nov. 23 starting at 7:00pm at the Surry County Government Center, 45 School St. in Surry, VA. Visit the Wise Energy for Virginia site for more information.

The battle has only begun. We can defeat this in more than one way. The town council still very much has to vote for the proposal. ODEC has not officially submitted any zoning ordinance for that land, it is only zoned right now as a conditional use for the sand and gravel mine which cannot be used for a coal plant. In addition to winning in the town we also can spend energy and time working with the Army Corps of Engineers to write a Environmental Impact Statement which will at least take two years- the King William Reservoir took ten years and because they delayed the project for so long it was ultimately canceled. As of right now ODEC needs a zoning permit, 100 air permits and a state corporation commission's certificate of necessity----so it is very much not a done deal. We have a lot of opportunity to stop this and I feel that we will. People in the town need to stand strong and preserve their rural quite farm life and the surrounding communitites need to stand with them to protect their water and air quality. Please write the Dendron Town Council and let them know you don't want a coal plant. Tell your friends and family, together we can stop this plus if we dont need any money or the accumulated saving money just your participation will be a great help to us.

The idea of doing the rbk nhl jerseys work on a treadmill ugg cargo was the asics cumulus furthest thing from my mind. But he kindly reminded me that the effort was the most important thing for this workout, and, herve leger sales as usual, herve leger he was absolutely right. ugg cargo I swapped the tights for uggs for kids warmups and hit the gym instead. For runners who usually train outdoors, winter can be a very unwelcome wholesale nfl jerseys wake-up call. asics sale Planned interval workouts are blown away by howling winds, discount nfl jersey and men ugg hill repeats are unsafe in ugg slippers snow and ice.

Microsoft Office 2010 is greedy, but it is not fair when drive user crazy. Also, the full featured access to pdf is a plus - but this is in 2007. My Office 2010 was set to "Automatic Update, my "Home & Student Office" Package wasn't included Outlook, but after I installed the package, at the Shutdown time, window7 keep issueing "Update Error" every time.  When I bought Microsoft Office  I had the same problem, all I had to do was call a certian number, type in the key and the problem went away.Outlook 2010, like almost everything else, has lessened the quality of it's service Look deeply into the Microsoft outlook 2010 messes, I have found that it tried to update the Microsoft Office 2007 app. which was not available, that why error raise. Also, I've had an absence of crashes - with complicated documents and spreadsheets - which used to crash on Office 2007
