We have 14

14 major river basins in Alabama and within those we have more aquatic

biodiversity than any other state.

It's kind of like a well-kept secret.

All of those headwater streams that are connected are vital,

absolutely vital in their connected state to the state of water quality downstream.

We're at a junction point right now where this country is looking at rolling back the Clean Water Act to not cover many of those

headwater streams. About 50% of the streams in Alabama are currently on the chopping block

to be covered by the Clean Water Act,

which is to ensure that they aren't unduly polluted.

Like what about people who have a house on the river or people who get drinking water from the river that it

It ain't just environmentalists that are concerned whether you're going to have no water or no property value or

whether you're going to be burned alive.

There are a lot of industry lobbyists involved in the federal team today.

They are not going to bat for We The People.

They are going to bat for special interests

with tons of money who have a lot to make.

In other words, if they can roll back the Clean Water Act, then they

further reduce limited restrictions that are in place currently and that

allows them to not have to skirt regulations anymore but just do whatever they want to do.

And they can make more money that way.
