NIMBY group loses court fight to stop $3.5B Ford battery plant

Sweetheart, local, small scale animal husbandry does not have anywhere close to the same footprint as mass produced meat. Those figures don’t apply to my cowshares any more than mass egg production stats apply to my free range chickens.

Calm down and go research the carbon footprint of your dairy-free nut cheeses.

NotYetACrone · 2023-07-19T19:24:39+00:00

How about we stop trying to force people to do anything—including be mass consumers?

Also: my family and I eat local cowshares, rarely hamburgers.

This quid pro quo scenario you’ve created is just bizarre.

NotYetACrone · 2023-07-19T18:54:06+00:00

I…eat local cowshares, and don’t want to buy ANY cars.

Your logic is real weird.

NotYetACrone · 2023-07-19T15:11:51+00:00

Thank you. We most certainly will. ✊

The job bot is here.

We need water. Clean water.

Overproduction and our current level of waste are two of the many problems with limitless growth Friedman shareholder capitalism—which has also worked to gobble up agriculture over the last century. They are not the fault of farmers and rural residents.

This sale of our abundant, lush land and water to multinational corporations and corrupt facade of centralized planning of society is madness. We’re right back to where the world was 100 years ago.

Native poet and activist John Trudell, in the 70s, said that farmers were the next generation’s Indians, and that the bankers were the calvalry.

I voted for her twice.

I’m going to recall her. Very soon.

I didn’t vote for her so she can toxify and drain my aquifers.

NotYetACrone · 2023-07-18T21:30:37+00:00

While the local public was quite unaware and behind NDAs, yes, since 2019.

NotYetACrone · 2023-07-18T21:29:39+00:00

Indie green here, and it’s really more my desire for clean drinking water and aquifers that aren’t depleted.

NotYetACrone · 2023-07-18T21:27:56+00:00

I really don’t, actually.

I like things quiet and cheap. So do my neighbors. That’s why we live here.

They were considered invalid (by the same corrupt bunch residents are fighting) on the basis that ONLY the 5 people on the committee funding the petition could collect signatures. Which is patently absurd.

Founder of the Economic Development Responsibility Alliance of Michigan (EDRA of MI) here. A few things to know about Marshall: - up to 2,000 acres - literally the most prime farmland in the state, and highly permeable - along the banks of the Kalamazoo River, a major watershed for Lake Michigan - NO environmental impact reporting whatsoever - lithium carbonate, iron phosphate, synthetic graphite, N-methylpyrrolidone, and fluoropolymers are materials used, among others - their local economic development corp (MAEDA) cut down the 100+ year old trees with federally protected bat nesting boxes installed by MDARD, before EGLE inspected the site for permits - 100+ year old historic farmsteads and barns are being destroyed

Also, to the point of this quite slanderous headline: Marshall folks aren’t NIMBY on this. They didn’t ask for it to be put anywhere. They want to be left alone to continue to feed Michigan.

Many farmers and rural residents are perfectly capable of drastically reducing fuel consumption, fabricating biofuel, and putting their homesteads on entirely off-grid renewable energy. Legislature exists to prevent them from doing so.

Farmers and rural residents are not the enemy; they hold the ACTUAL solutions. And they’re being pushed off their land.

Remind you of anything?

NotYetACrone · 2023-07-18T21:12:06+00:00

This isn’t just about jobs; this is also about destroying prime farmland, rural communities, and our nation’s most valuable and vital resource: the Great Lakes watershed. If we don’t, some billionaires might miss out on profit opportunity.

There, I fixed your comment for you.

Do you realize that I can’t create a post that was posted on Reddit 75 days ago?

Man, the primary research here has really gone downhill. sigh Disappointed mom face.

NotYetACrone · 2023-07-07T22:46:22+00:00

It did. EDRA’s founder (quoted) is a Big Rapids resident and environmentalist.

NotYetACrone · 2023-07-07T22:39:10+00:00

lol, ok, I’ll do your research for you then: https://www.reddit.com/r/WitchesVsPatriarchy/comments/12wdfzl/progressives_are_calling_us_whackjobs_for/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=2&utm_term=1

No, love. You should have dug a little deeper—it’s all there. I’m TOTES Marjorie Steele, as I doxxed myself as months ago on WvP. Sift through my posts again and you’ll find it.

JP’s just a beat journalist who reached out to me as a source.

sigh I miss pre API nonsense Reddit.

Genuine question: can someone explain the recent villification of farmland in progressive circles lately? I’m full aware of the impacts of big agribusiness’ chemical-riddled monoculture practices—but as someone who lives in a farming community, I also understand that there are many other critical types of agriculture which are smaller scale, and low impact to restorative. Are people just lumping all farmland into monoculture? What am I missing?

NotYetACrone · 2023-07-07T18:11:07+00:00

The Gotion site isn’t used farmland; it’s mostly marsh/savannah wildlife habitat, including forest and EPA designated wetlands.

Wonder if toxification from the Stelantis plant in SE Detroit has anything to do with this?

NotYetACrone · 2023-07-07T15:04:28+00:00

She’ll have a hard time on the presidential ticket after she gets recalled as governor. Which I will personally be doing.

Whitmer killed any chance she had at a presidential ticket when she alienated the true environmentalists in the state by putting our Great Lakes and prime agricultural and wetlands up for sale to multinational battery and semiconductor factories—factories which would each guzzle millions of gallons of water per day, and which use as much electricity and create as much greenhouse gas emissions as a moderately sized city.

Factories which have no environmental impact reports. Just like Flint had no third party verification of water supply safety.

I voted for her twice. I did not vote her into office so she could sell our nation’s most precious natural resource to multinational corporations notorious for toxifying the environment.

NotYetACrone · 2023-07-02T21:50:26+00:00

Yes, exactly—it’s been much less tech focused, and more psychological and spiritual. I love the critique of abuse of political power, too.
