“You tell us you’re sorry and it happens again”, said Alton Burns of Coolidge about pipeline leaks, fires, and explosions, setting the tone for the whole evening, which ended with local landowners calling the whole process a farce and a hoax. As attorney Jonathan Waters said, South Georgia is a home, not a pipeline easement.

The FERC meetings started the previous evening in Albany and continue at 5:30 PM each night at:

• Wednesday, September 30, at Holiday Inn Valdosta, Conference Center Magnolia Ballroom, 1805 West Hill Ave., Valdosta, GA 31601. LAKE videos from Valdosta.
• Thursday, October 1, at Columbia High School Auditorium, 469 SE Fighting Tiger Drive, Lake City, FL 32025 LAKE videos from Lake City.

There are many more things you can do to stop Sabal Trail. Remember, the bigger they are, the harder they fall.

Here are links to the LAKE videos from last night in Moultrie, followed by a video playlist.

  Video. Mark Woodall, Vice-Chair, Georgia Sierra Club, representing millions of members nationwide, said the Sinkhole Pipeline is still unnecessary, he passed thousands of acres of solar panels going in while driving to Moultrie which Florida could do just as well. He’s discovered Mergent, the environmental contractor for FERC on this DEIS, appears to be being paid by Transco, one of the three companies in this pipeline project, which would be a conflict of interest.
