\nI’m just an older, working man that lives in our fair city of\nValdosta. I have children and grandchildren that live, work and go to\nschool in Lowndes County. After looking at the information available, and\ndoing some research in my limited spare time, I’ve come to the\nconclusion that this proposed biomass facility that the Industrial\nAuthority is trying to push through is a really bad idea. The pollution\nthat will continuously pour from the plant will create cancers, heart and\nrespiratory disease, as well as seriously aggravating chronic conditions\nsuch as asthma. Children are especially at risk, and there are two schools\nwithin a mile of the plant site, not to mention all the homes.\n

\nAs a cancer survivor\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n\n\nI find this plant an outrageous idea. As a parent and\ngrandparent, I ask the Industrial Authority, You want us to sacrifice our\nhealth, the health of our kids and future generations for a few pieces of\nsilver? You think that=E2=80=99s a good idea? I find that highly immoral\nand repulsive, and I ask that my fellow parents and grandparents stand up\nagainst this dirty plant for the sake of our kids, and their kids, and\ntheir kids, and God knows how many generations. It’s a done deal\nunless we stop it.\n
