Citizens Against CO2 Sequestration - Call to Action Meeting

Citizens of Darke County and others who are interested, are urged to attend our "Call to Action" meeting tomorrow night at Lighthouse Christian Center, on Sebring Warner Road - it will begin promptly at 7 pm and the program is expected to run until 9 pm.

Darke County is the site of the one of the 7 large-scale CO2 "DEMONSTRATIONS" . The citizens of this county do not get to vote on this issue but they can take action!

Yard Signs and T-shirts will be for sale at the event. Additionally, the signs are available from Isabel (David) Culbertson with a limited number of signs available at Tropical Isle Tanning Salon.

THE PUBLIC IS URGED TO ATTEND

The quotes below come from this web site -
http://www.netl.doe.gov/publications/proceedings/07/carbon-seq/data/papers/ElizabethWilson.pdf


"Long term care… all agree public assumption of liability is necessary in the long term
When? (1 year to 30)
Based upon what? (performance, time limit, $$$)"

"Public Assumption of Responsibility (and public perception risk…)
Concern: Requiring public assumption of liability too early may undermine
public confidence"

"General sentiment: “if it is as safe as you say, why do you want the government to take responsibility?”
