A public decision is in play. This is exactly the moment that changes outcomes — show up and speak.

Your action kit

Sourced arguments and ready-to-send letters — every figure links to a primary record. Edit to add your own story.

Process

Demand a full, public review — not a rubber stamp.

Ask for an independent noise study, a water-and-power impact assessment, enforceable conditions (setbacks, hours, cooling type), and that the record stays open for written comment. Procedural shortcuts have voided approvals elsewhere.
