180,000	per hour — roughly 400 Million gal. every 24 hours for the initial plant — how will that effect the water level — and will existing wells be killed?
Why did the State of Georgia reject this industry?
Will the pollution from the High Sulphur Coal dust ruin the beautiful Diamondhead Development?
Is the policy of Diamondhead Developers wne of Sell - out and get out?
Will the poison pumped back into the earth eventually seep into the Beautiful Jourdan River — and be fed into other streams causing fish kills, rendering the streams unsuitable for pleasure boating, fishing, residential dwellings?
