The proposed
Newburgh docking area across from Dennings Point State Park and
bird sanctuary is directly intrusive in the culture of the area.
Dennings Point and the hiking trails connecting it to the
surrounding natural areas use the whole aspect of the last 40
years of Hudson River cleanup to educate visitors and friends in
natural water management. Yes, the Hudson is a commercial highway,
but it is also a treasured natural resource.
Why not put the anchorages near the fossil fuel plants upriver?
Yes, the oil storage facility at Newburgh is commercially
important, but it is "deliver and go". The Beacon-Newburgh "bay"
is a frequently used area for environmental education, pleasure
boating, entertainment and scenic views.
I am a member of the Beacon Sloop Club and Clearwater both of
which use these waters for environmental education, sailing skills
training and public enjoyment. Their work and that of their
founder, Pete Seeger, have been instrumental in the implementation
of the Clean Water Act and the clean up of the Hudson. Today,
River Pool at Beacon floats in the Hudson where the water has
become clean enough to swim. I return on August 6th for my
eleventh Newburgh to Beacon Swim in support of that effort.

Deep Geo Proposal Proposal
-------- Forwarded Message --------
The Office of Purdue University President Mitchell Daniels
I would like to meet with President Daniels to discuss the potential role of Purdue in a project to engineer, make available and use geothermal energy for electricity generation virtually anywhere in the US. Among "renewable", fossil and nuclear sources of energy, geothermal is the cleanest and least expensive -- and it is unlimited and uninterruptible. Such a project would be on the scale of the Ball State geothermal project, BUT would explore and define a more extended role of geothermal energy.
Having moved back to my hometown in January after 45 years, I am interested in championing both the immediate economic opportunity for the state and the long-term benefits for the environment. Over the last eight years, I have worked with Geothermal Energy Assn. staff and members, met with Department of Energy leaders and staff and lobbied in Congress to educate myself on the possibilities.
To borrow part of an email I sent last week after a meeting with Duke Energy (Chip Orben) & head of the Fayette County Economic Development Group (Dan Parker),

... proving the universal environmental and economic benefits of geothermal electricity generation would also have dramatic positive impacts. Doing "good" that brings economic, environmental and social benefits, multiplies the benefits to its contributors. That, I believe, can be part of the "ask" to Duke Energy Indiana, Purdue, IU, the State and the DOE: "Let us explore and demonstrate a proven sound, strategic and economical means of clean energy generation that will benefit the Earth, our economy and your bottom line -- right here in Indiana."Looking forward to discussing geothermal research possibilities,
