To whom this reaches,

My name is Luke Patterson. I am a 39 yr old Father of 2 , who has lived in this area my entire life. Indeed, I could be considered a 'life-long' resident of the Tantramar area, since I intend to be here and have no plans to move anywhere else , in my life.

   That's not to say I haven't spent time elsewhere. I have seen the general degradation that power production in the fossil fuel sector first hand while working in reforestation in Alberta, among other places.

   I have always been thankful that home here in NB does ~not~ have a burning ( smoke stack)  reminder that if left to their druthers, some of us would choose to go further in the wrong direction, environmentally speaking. At what feels like maybe the worst time to do so. 

 I am opposed to this development and would urge those in charge to look at greener options all around.
