Klamath Falls River Basin as it is in the presentSave Our Rural Oregon (SORO) is a group of concerned citizens in Klamath Falls, Oregon who are fighting the siting of two biomass plants located a mile apart in the Klamath River Basin.
We are requesting your support in fighting this assault on our community which will ruin its future by making it a slave to the timber companies, and hold us in a cycle of poverty.
Snow Geese visit the Klamath Falls River BasinMost tragically, it will take away forever one of the area's most valuable assets, the scenic Klamath River Basin, and industrialize it with biomass plants. One of the projects is about 2 months away from ground breaking.
Primarily, we ask your support to please email our local politicians and agencies, and tell them they should be ashamed of themselves for what they are doing to our community, and that they must put a stop to this assault.

This is such a worthwile cause and I uge everyone to get involved. I have left several comments on the website of their local paper. Not unsuprisingly, pro biomass folks are using the same impotent and unsupported arguments as they did here, in Mason County. The biomass industry in Washington and Oregon have gone completely off the rails, but we can stop them. Also, rumor has it that Dobson has spoken to some biomass representatives out of Oregaon about bring their operation here, to replace the failed Adage attempt. It is up to us to stop Hupp, and Wallitner from destroying our community. ONE AT A TIME, WE NEED TO VOTE THE BUMS OUT, THEN FIRE DOBSON!

ReplyDeleteI personally have been of the opinion that Oregon is a very progressive, environmentally conscious state whose citizens value the ability to take a deep breath without it being hazardous to their health.
I am hopeful the citizens of Oregon will get on board with your campaign and help to stop the destruction of your beautiful river basin.
