Meanwhile, you ignore plain\nstatements of opposition from medical groups such as the American\nLung Association.\n<p>\nDr. Tom Manning is a chemist whose specialities have little to do\nwith renewable energy.  At least three times as many VSU faculty\noppose the biomass plant, as you know from reading their LTEs in the VDT.\n<p>\nYou say you want people helping you.  OK, what are these &#8220;other\nrenewable energy projects&#8221;?  You complain that people don&#8217;t get\ninvolved until late, so please tell us now, so we can get involved early.\n<\/blockquote>\n\n<!--more-->\n<blockquote>\nFor that matter, I have repeatedly sent you a lead for solar\nventure capital which could be pursued to enlarge the Wiregrass\nPower LLC solar plant.  Yet you fail to even acknowledge receipt.\nThat doesn&#8217;t seem like you want assistance.\n<p>\nI hope with its 1 mil of tax money VLCIA can come up with something\nbetter than this biomass plant.  If VLCIA paid for a regional renewable\nenergy plan, that might indicate some seriousness on its part that\nmight attract clean energy and supporters.\n<p>\nEconomic development affects the whole community, not just selected\nstakeholders.\n<p>\n-jsq\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"My response to Brad Lofton&#8217;s previous mail to me and Sunday&#8217;s exchange between Brad Lofton and Leigh Touchtom; I copied the VDT and the usual list. -jsq From: &#8220;John S.
