Did you know that only 250 miles of rail-trails were known to exist in 1986, when RTC opened its doors? Learn more about history of rail-trails and how the movement has grown to include 24,000 miles of rail-trails (with more on the way) in this interview with Peter Harnik, cofounder of the Rails-to-Trails Conservancy, in this recent episode of Resources Magazine Radio!

Dominion Energy (main corporate actor behind the defunct Atlantic Coast Pipeline) at it again, turning the land of generations into toxic waste sites. This time in my backyard. Commissioners (Gordon Powell, Chair Person Board of Comm., Arbitrator, Derrick Sims, Kyle W. Puryear, Jason D. Thomas, Charlie Palmer) voted unanimously to approve the Moriah Energy Center project in Person County, NC, giving the go-ahead for Dominion Energy to build a liquified natural gas (LNG) storage facility. Requiring the rezoning of 485 forested-acres, the community spoke up in outrage for over two hours, and within 20 seconds the project was board approved. These LNG facilities are ladened with air quality concerns, water contamination impacts, habitat destruction and disruption and the overall community impacts and opposition. On the bright side, there are incredible organizations fighting big corps on projects like MEC around the nation.

Speak up, write to your representatives. Demand good policy for now and for future generations. #climatechange #publichealthemergency #stopfossilfuels #Divestfromfossilfuels

If we have any ability to “do math” as a nation, we will “build baby, build” in nuclear. A simple look at energy density alone (not to mention a full life cycle carbon audit) will show that nuclear is the cleanest energy production technology of all. But I am tilting at windmills…..and solar panels.
