Saving Lake Anna

This morning Sugar went to the Friends of Lake Anna meeting--a group of people from both the warm and cool sides of the lake that is hoping to convince the nuclear power officials to find a way to cool the water from the proposed third and fourth reactors that will not further heat up the lake or cause a change in levels. The warm side of the lake--three cooling ponds that evenutally drain into the main lake--already record temperatures of more than 100 degrees, and even the cool side this summer has had reports of temperatures in the 90s. If the plant increases both the amount of the flow into those ponds by 60 percent and the temperature by even a few degrees, the impact will be tremendous and unhealthy for people and the environment. Sugar said there is a lot of information on the group's Web site, and that everyone, including kids, can express their views through the embedded petition. So I said I would help by posting the group's info. Linda
