\n\n<\/a>\nAll,\n

\nMy name is Russell Anderson. I am the Co-Director of\nCollectiveprogression.org and graduate of Valdosta State. I am writing to\ninform you of my intent to publish the below piece on our website and to our\nreadership as well as produce a full length documentary about the community\nstruggle against the proposed Wiregrass LLC biomass incinerator.\nI have you all on this email<\/u> {Sterling Assets, Langdale’s, Council, Commissioners,\nAuthority, Attorneys} and\n\nALL of you have continued to pass the blame and\nbuck on the building of this plant.<\/b>\nRather than doing the more responsible\nthing (pending EIS),\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n

\nlike making the plant only solar, you have chosen to\npollute the waters, air, and soil at no benefit to anyone but Sterling\nAssets and the Langdale Family.\n

\n..I am most upset with Sterling Assets in all this as they started as a\nlegitimate and “green company” with the support of their subsidiary Sterling\nPlanet. This company and all of you need a wake up call.\n

\nIt is not my intention to be hostile, however you all must to realize the\nconsequences of your proposed actions and act accordingly.\n

\nFurthermore, I request that you\n\nlook into the facts on this plant<\/a>\nand many of the\n\nsimilar projects and struggles against Biomass incinerators happening across the\ncountry<\/a>.\n

\nI’ve attached recent testimony I presented to the Board of Commissioners\n(who passed the buck to the Industrial Authority).\n

\nPlease review the below and links I’ve provided. If you have anything to\nrespond please do so directly to me at wranders@gmail.com\n
