“The Wilder Heart of Florida” – Local Writers Book Reading
Come Visit Our Table at the Downtown Gainesville Arts Festival
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has released its Environmental Impact Study and basically said the Sabal Trail Pipeline will have no significant negative impact on the land, the people, the river, the springs, the wild creatures that live in its path.
Indeed, they admit there will be some impact, but they say that if they don’t build the pipeline, then the fracked liquid natural gas will not arrive at its destination in South Florida. So it seems the pipe will go across the land and under the rivers and through the springs heartland.

We need to fill the room! It would be great if all 1,800 people who have seen this could take the time to attend tomorrow night’s meeting in Lake City at the Columbia High School Auditorium

You are from here, it’s your land, your quality of life that will be impacted once this corridor is seized by eminent domain for a 36″ natural gas transmission pipeline sending dirty fossil fuels (begotten by fracking in the US) to our coast.
Save life….STOP Sabal Trail pipeline.
:-(. I hope it can be stopped.
Key word: “significant “
Stop this now, not only will it compromise the pristine waters but all that digging I’m sure is destroying some archaeological artifacts that are protected by law last time I checked.
