    AA Meeting Summary

In the 1760’s the technology used to make maps was not as advanced as it is now, the maps that the cartographers made aren’t as useful now as they were in the 1760’s.

    Why do you think they are both right?. I believe that Eaton and Mulholland acted with greed, not only because they were not honest with Los Angeles population back in 1905 when they started to build the aqueduct, but as well because their main intention was only to expand the city over everything. They did not consider the catastrophic impact that they will cause on Owens lake and valley. I am not saying that your opinion is wrong, but maybe you should consider how they actually damaged the valley? Do you think that all the damaged is worth it just to expand the city?…

    Here in Fredericksburg, we are situated in one of the most idyllic portions of Virginia, we are far enough south from DC and far enough north from Richmond and just rural enough that our AQI is hovers typically around 20. Additionally, our power is supplied by one of the largest nuclear power plants in the US, the North Anna Power Station, so we experience none of the effects of the coal mining or burning that supplies much of the state's energy.
