What Really Should Be Discussed Regarding the Yadkin River Hydroelectric Project
Submitted by ryalcurtis on Wed, 11/11/2009 - 2:12pmThe opinion piece below was published in the Charlotte Observer on Nov. 5, 2009. I am republishing this piece on behalf of Dean Naujoks, the Yadkin Riverkeeper (www.yadkinriverkeeper.org).
The Yadkin Riverkeeper is one of the many environmental groups in opposition to Alcoa receiving a new 50-year license from the federal government for North Carolina's Yadkin Hydroelectric Project located in central North Carolina. Our group (MMI public relations) represents the Stanly County Board of Commissioners who also oppose Alcoa's 50-year federal request. Support for this opposition has grown to include Governor Perdue, Secretary of Commerce Keith Crisco, Sens. Richard Burr and Kay Hagan, as well as number of other nonprofit groups and elected officials.
Alcoa's environmental record part of Yadkin River debate
It wants to keep harvesting profits while denying pollution.
