it shows how a lack of proper leadership and good old fashioned backdoor dealings in money and politics is leading to a massive disaster for georgia and the florida aquifer. one company’s plant uses over 59 million gallons of fresh aquifer water a day. coastal communities are already overbuilt to be supported with fresh water. salt water intrusion is already happening and yet georgia has no plan to curb water useage long term. the leaders of this state knew there was a problem but did almost nothing until dooms day arrived and now we all suffer. meanwhile they want to create environmental havoc in federally protected estuaries that will allow red tide to come in and other problems and cause major ecological damage. this isn’t just about saving some mussels or fish. don’t be fooled by politician’s spin on the truth.

btw, nice website. good info site for this disaster. let’s hope these current leaders we have, have a better sustainable long term plan to fix this mess than just suing the feds and destroyed parts of the eco-system in both florida and alabama and delaying the inevitable.

sorry for the long comment.
