We may never fully know why

the present site was selected nor do we have any further information to

refute their claim as to why the site was selected. Whatever the case

may be for site selection, [it] may be irrelevant, since the net effect

of their action is [that] the proposed site will be located in an area

of high minority residential concentration.

The Fulton Energy Center's

proposed location transcends boundaries and is not a local problem to

South Fulton county or Union City. It is a multi-jurisdictional problem

and as such we all need to be concerned.

We all need clean and an ample

supply of water, clean air, safe food, minimum noise and an environment

conductive to our well being as members of the human race. In particular,

the elderly, children and those with impairments demand a quality of life

absent pollution, noise and unsightly nuisances.

We believe we can have such

an environment without using minority and poor neighborhoods as criteria

for dumping grounds. We can have an environmental friendly energy policy,

but in planned areas of development. We have the technology to transmit

energy long distances. In fact we are doing it. Do you have the political

will and sense of justice to demand a better stake for our citizens?
