\r\n\r\n\"300x395<\/a>\r\nRichland in Stewart County, \r\nPreston in Webster County, Americus in Sumter County, Cordele in Crisp County,\r\nAshburn in Turner County,\r\nif you thought you were off the Sabal Trail path, think again!\r\nYou’re in FERC’s eye for a 36-inch fracked methane pipeline\r\njust like Tifton, Adel, Hahira, and Valdosta in Tift, Cook, and Lowndes\r\nCounties Georgia, and in Florida Jennings in Hamilton County, Lake City in Columbia County, Alachua and Gainesville in Alachua County, Ocala in Marion County, Wildwood in Sumter County, and Ferndale in Lake County, and probably some other cities and counties you can find on the map.\r\nAnd Alternative 4 would cross the Withlacoochee River in Lowndes County\r\njust before passing right next to Lowndes High School and an exploding\r\npipeline segment’s throw from Valdosta Mall.\r\n

\r\n\"300x386<\/a>\r\n\r\nAlternative 4<\/a> in\r\nFERC’s recent instructions for Sabal Trail to “include analyses” would start\r\neven farther north on I-75 than\r\n\r\nAlternative 1<\/a>.\r\n

\r\n\r\nAlternative 4<\/a>\r\nbeginning from Alternate 2 near Richland, Georgia and following Highway 280 to near Americus, Georgia; then following a high voltage transmission line (along Sabal Trail\u2019s Hillabee Alternative route); then following Alternate 1 starting near Tifton, Georgia and extending to the proposed endpoint.\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n

\r\nHere’s a\r\n\r\nvery rough map of Alternative 4<\/a>:\r\n

\r\n\r\n\"Map,<\/a>\r\n<\/p>\r\n

\r\nYou can see the pipeline would also cross the Flint River in Georgia\r\nand the Suwannee and Santa Fe Rivers in Florida.\r\n

\r\n\r\nWhat say we call off the pipeline and deploy clean, safe, affordable\r\n\r\nsolar power<\/a> instead, for jobs, power, and lower electric bills right\r\nhere where we need them?\r\nAfter all,\r\n\r\nSabal Trail’s own figures show<\/a>\r\nit would take half the land of that pipeline to produce just as much solar power.\r\n

\r\nAny county or city along any of these routes can\r\ntake action<\/a>\r\nlike Jefferson County, Florida did to prevent bottling companies\r\nfrom taking their water: pass a land-use ordinance.\r\n<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Richland in Stewart County, Preston in Webster County, Americus in Sumter County, Cordele in Crisp County, Ashburn in Turner County, if you thought you were off the Sabal Trail path, think again!
