We are deeply troubled the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has included a sit~ in Bethlehem as a potential PCB dump and processing facility. - The consequences of polluting our air, land and water with this cancer-agent would be measured, not in years, but decades. The EPA is gambling with our lives, the lives of our childr~n and the lives of generations to come.
Let us stand together and fight this assault on our town. We have begun a petition drive opposing the EPA's proposal. David Austin, David Young and I are proud to be the first to sign the petition, but we need your help. -
.Volunteers will be circulating petitions throughout town. Please take a moment to sign the petition and show your support for preserving the quality oflife we have worked so hard to create in Bethlehem.
Let's send the message loud and clear:· Bethlehem is not the EPA's dumping ground!

New York State is currently developing a Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) that requires within 10 years at least 25% of the state's electricity is generated from renewable resources. These may include wind, solar, photovoltaics, biomass, tidal, and others. An RPS should lower air emissions, including greenhouse gases, and reduce other adverse environmental impacts. It may reduce New York's dependence on imported fuels and "help diversify our generation fuel mix. Also, attracting renewable technology firms to New York will have economic benefits, as well. The Public Service Commission is working collaboratively with other organizations and parties to develop New York State's RPS.
