I try to present facts as well as an opininion. I agree that the name calling should cease. As for Gorgas being an argument, that has already been addressed by the US Supreme Court. the US Supreme Court ruled against Georgia being able to withdraw drinking water for Atlanta simply because it was not an authorized purpose. Gorgas is not an authorized purpose, however recreation is.
I agree that there should be moderation, under the Slisa Proposal more Hydro Generation is produced than is produced now.

Eveyone
It sometimes seems that the forums are more like a debate team
rather than intelligent people learning from one another. It seems that if you are for APC and against SLISA that no matter how many facts are presented you try to defend the side you were given to debate.
I don't have an underlying issue, I started trying to educate myself on the rights I have as a property owner. I discovered
that I was not being told the truth about lake ownership,licensing or what the water was being used for.
When someone lies to me over and over again I try to find out why. Through public records the evidence is clear that the main reason for lake level decline in the summer months is due to cooling water releases for Gorgas. That is not an opinion that is a fact.

If your opinion is that APC should be able to do what they want, then that is your opinion to have. If you think I'm a money hungry developer, then that is your opinion to have. However if you are going to argue facts and not opinions please bring the facts to the table. I am ceratinly willing to look at the facts.
I just wish everyone would be open minded and try to educate themselves before arguing points that have already been proved or
disproved. We should use these forums to further benefit Smith Lake not degrade one another like a Jerry Springer episode.
