Sidestepping Leigh Touchton’s email, Brad Lofton backs off on Dr. Teaf and forgets how to count. -jsq

Subject: Re: Background information on Dr. Christopher Teaf

Thank you for your e-mail Ms. Touchton. Dr. Teaf’s credentials clearly speak for themselves, but as you know, he is only one expert that has provided guidance. His expert opinion is in the overwhelming majority. The state EPD also employs toxicologists and experts that do nothing but evaluate the safety of these projects. The federal EPA does the same. Both groups support biomass and have provided their blessing. This project was also reviewed by experts from VSU, GA Tech, and UGA. It also has been reviewed and blessed by the Obama administration, federal agencies that employ hundreds of experts, the state of GA, Lowndes County, and literally countless environmental groups and experts. There is no doubt about the safety of the three existing biomass plants in Lowndes nor another one. This issue has long since been resolved and the permits have all been approved and are in place at this time.

Have a nice day,

  1. Boondoggle

    Well there are a lot of EPA/EPD permits that were successfully challenged in court by concerned citizens and the testimony of medical experts, as opposed to chemical marketing firms, carried the day.
    Greenlaw and Southern Environmental Law Center just successfully challenged one of those EPD permits Mr. Lofton thinks is the final word on safety. Read about it in the Augusta Chronicle.http://chronicle.augusta.com/latest-news/2010-12-18/setback-proposed-ga-coal-plant
    The Valdosta Biomass boondoggle will release more pollutants than the Sandersville plant that the court ruled was improperly permitted by the EPD that Mr. Lofton thinks is so wonderful.
