No pipeline in Cheatham County, Tennessee!
We were better at one time. Through the years, everything has been done quicker, easier, cheaper, at the cost of the environment. We need to think of ways to reverse this trend, & help the earth & thus everyone else in the long run. Don’t forget about cutting back our carbon footprint. (and all that entails, including reduce, refuse, reuse, recycle, compost—when you can safely, & living as simply as possible, cutting back on excess, downsizing, etc . . .). I’m trying, but I think we could do more to encourage others around the world. Including setting a good example ourselves. I’m not sure Trump did the wrong thing. I was not in favor of the Paris Agreement for my own reasons, and I am a tree hugger. I also love this planet & all in it. but the nuclear option could blow it for all of us. (making it worse than it could ever get—because nuclear energy is very dangerous) I sometimes wonder about people who are pushing for the nuclear option. Do they just not know the past mishaps? do they have too much trust in humanity? do they not think of terrorism or other such deeds? Not to mention natural disasters?, etc . . . I think that was a mistake. It, nuclear energy, should not have been included in the answer to our problems. & I worry that this is buried in this Green New Deal as well. Re a Climate Emergency, another problem is that Haste Makes Waste & many times in our urgency to do good we move too fast for our own good & the good of others. Someone/many may suffer as a result & there may be no quick remedies before much suffering by many. So we need to take it slow by testing small areas first & then progressing, realizing that some things will not show up right away. But the first steps above could start earlier. And what about hybrids? Solar/Electric regular/electric, etc . . ? They are a great way to start transitioning. Not to mention we all need to cut down on our energy consumption. Where is Carter? Can anyone help out in that matter? But in any case we need to realize that we may need to make changes for the best of all. This is the best time to realize that all people, animals, beings/creatures, spirits, etc . . . dwell in the same space: Earth. We are the past, present, & future. We are all above, below, on and or in the earth. It is the home of us all & we all need each other whether we know it or not. We should make all plans keeping the future of all in mind. We are all connected, so what we do in one part of the world will eventually get to another. I hope you will join me in praying for the president & that he & his team will realize our wishes & understand they are for his benefit as well as the benefit for everyone else in the long run. If you’d like, you could pass on my wishes to him as well. I share a variety of perspectives. no matter who we are or where we came from, we can thank God that we are here & that we do have a lot to be thankful for. Maybe not as much as some. But a lot more than others. yes, there are times when I feel worse than others, that happens to all of us, no matter who we are. But thank God we are here. We can also agree to disagree on many issues. That’s life. The whole point is that we are all here, thank God, & we all have life, & we all are together.

Stay safe & Take care & God Bless All . . . p.s. do not forget Indian wisdom, “you cannot eat, drink, or breathe money”. The earth is the home of us all. We need to take care of it/her so that it/she may take care of us.

TVA has enjoyed a significant roll in our nation’s history. Please do not tarnish that place in time with this proposed development; one that will indelibly detract from all future TVA reputation.

The air belongs to all of us, and your plan to abuse the atmosphere we all breathe is criminal.

We must end the use of ALL fossil fuels immediately and replace them with clean and renewable alternatives. These are available and cheaper at this point. We can not continue to burn methane gas as a replacement for coal. We are way beyond that point. Our planet is overheating from the burning of any and all fossil fuels. Please do not switch from coal to methane gas. Choose wind or solar or hydro. Acknowledge that we are already at the beginning of a climate crisis and don't make the situation worse, especially when you have safer and cleaner choices.

Dear TVA,
7/7/2023
Please do not burden us with another gas plant. I fear that methane will be released and methane is a powerful green house gas and a major pollutant. I ask you to invest in wind and solar , instead, and thereby create the the green jobs of the future. Joe Wasserman negative Joseph Wasserman 6117

FROM DIANE WALLACE, FORSYTH County, North Carolina Resident- Let’s protect all species and retain their habitats. It will eventually be too hot to sweat. And once the permafrost thaws past a certain point then the temperature of the Ocean will rise such that plankton will die off leading to an oxygen poor atmosphere starting above sea level. negative Diane Wallace 27284
