THE CURRENT STATE OF BALTIMORE CITY UNDER CONSTRUCTION https://www.vicinityenergy.us/locations/baltimore "We maintain an exclusion list of areas we refuse to invest in, including weapons manufacturing, tobacco production and
distribution, prostitution, coal-based businesses, gambling, pornography, drugs and alcohol-related activities, and any operations
involving serious or systematic human rights violations."
- Antin Infrastructure Partners, European-based owner of Vicinity, with New York location [Page 2-3]
"Wheelabrator Lies" - Clean Air Baltimore Coalition "Breakdowns can be dangerous. Models from Georgia Tech show that indoors can be even hotter than outdoors, something people
in poorly-insulated homes around the world are well acquainted with. 'A single family, one-story detached home with a large,
flat roof heats up by over 40 degrees in a matter of hours if they don’t have air conditioning,'" - Katie Martin,
Administrator of Home Improvements and Community Services, Foundation for Senior Living
District Energy Initiative Website "Offering efficient steam, hot water, and chilled water to nearly 250 customer buildings within the central building
and in Harbor East."
While businesses (more so non-profits: Johns Hopkins, churches...) and individuals can afford geothermal (vertical drilling
and closed-loop gel), there are increasing chances of fracking causing earthquakes and shake. [An direct use citywide geothermal
system would never have one occur.]

It is wonderful when people learn about trees. It simply should be - together - City Representatives teaching and plant -
together: "Thank you for your interest in Baltimore City’s trees! Please get permission from the Urban Forestry Division
before planting a tree in a public right of way. Forestry & Tree Services - Department of Recreation and Parks [Still left up to citizens. Should be major endeavor - like in Ethiopia.
The Baltimore Tree Inventory Map [ Zoom in several times. No date listed.] "History of the Water System" - Baltimore City Department of Public Works Granite Pipeline Project - Dead Run Floodplain - Baltimore City Recreation and Parks [Gas line] No Forestry - Planting Trees Project listed. :(
The trees are not planted on private property. So why do residents have to, "water" the trees????: |
