Comment on ‘Go Fish’ goes south by T. Ranieri

I feel the building of the ramps was a good thing. You can call it a drought, which I am certain poor rains do not make for lakes and drinking water, but what about the siphoning off that is being done that must be controlled in a different manner. The coal mines need to slow down or close some of them, there needs to be a change of the state of mind in Georgia and it is not that all big business rules the land. You cant complain about Perdue putting up all of this for fishing and then claim it is not the right thing because f the changes to DNR.

And this is supposed to be a good thing. What proof do we have that they will do the right thing. Since when does the pharse,” Georgia Power” stand for clean water, air and land conservation? Do not see this as a defeat, we can and will get it back. thank you for standing up for what is right even at your own cost.

It was former Senator Erick Johnson of Savannah who screamed loudest that Sally Bethea of CRK should be removed from the Board because she was a “lobbyist”!

Another sad day for Georgians, but not at all unexpected. We keep electing developers and their ilk to office, we should expect them to act like the developers they are.

This is what the Republicans bring us, I wish all Georgians understood this.
I live near and have for years enjoyed the Ogeechee River. Over the last five or so years there had been a noticeable decline in water quality, ad the color of the river even began to change. Of course, this was because King Finishing, a Corporation out of Chicago, had begun dumping illegal chemicals into the river. Finally, last year came the fish kill. Stressed and sickly because of the pollution, fish were ready candidates for an epidemic disease. State EPD and King Finishing declared there was nothing wrong. Were it not for the brave actions of the Riverkeeper organization, who actually filmed the dumping of toxic chemicals by King Finishing and who obtained independent lab test of the water, nothing would have been done at all. Finally, in the face of video and laboratory evidence, after weeks of silence, the State EDP announced they would punish King Finishing. THe consent order says one million, but in fact King can build a few boat ramps, over value them, and its done. In other words, they got away with a crime that destroyed this gem of a river. Maybe Governor Deal and his corporate cronies will get rich here on earth, but I sure hope there is a judgement and they spend eternity having to drink the poison King Finishing still pumps into the river.

Just more “business as usual” by our elected officials who are supposed to represent their constituents. Perdue, Deal, virtually all politicians will sell their mother’s soul if Geargia Power, et al tell them to. What can we do about it? Vote them out of office as quickly as possible. Sure, we may vote in someone who is is just as slimy, but we have no other choices.

it is a very good article and all citizens in the world must know the facts and give priority to the school education by taking very good and top skills development programmes at this stage.

Comment on Bubba calls out Fox for shoddy reporting by Ed J

As huge as Fox is they still manage to get themselves to spin a tabloid-like scrap against a credible company as Sunpower. It is so sad that this only serves to support certain colors of politics and not to see the more noble role of supporting alternative energy as means to saving the planet from more destruction brought by global warming. It is this kind of mentality that gets America behind other countries on innovation at technologies it basically started and crafted. i hope powerful media personalities and companies gets out of politics and serve the people they way they should. Honest, unbiased and educated reporting.

McDonald is 100% correct. This is not an issue of supporting solar. This is an issue of horrible and misleading reporting by FOX. Their comments on SunPower were way off base. Flat out inaccurate. Let’s hope that Bill O’Reilly sends a camera team to see McDonald. But don’t hold your breath. My guess is FOX has learned they were wrong on SunPower.

It's not just FOX!!! Dilbert hit the nail on the head even before taxpayers forked the dough to Solyndra. Mr. McDonald would be advised to see these three cartoon before making some new statements about solar energy.
