Visitors want to thump sense into Progress

As visitors to your area four to six times per year (over 1,200 miles each way), for over 35 years we’ve come to see Apalach, Eastpoint and St. George as “home.” We agree completely that Progress Power’s plan to put the giant poles through your beautiful area is anything but Progress! It’s obtrusive, distasteful, disgusting and insensitive. Your neck of the woods is one of the last unspoiled, scenic seaside communities in the U.S. Progress Power’s urge to provide “reliable power to all customers” is a weak excuse for such an obscene scheme.

We may be Yankees in your eyes, but we’d tar and feather anyone trying to construct such monstrosities in our corner of the world. And I know there are people there who could do it! We wholeheartedly support your opposition to this ill-conceived plan, and hope with all our hearts you can find a way to thump some sense in the power company’s head.
