Stan Thompson, with the Hydrogen Economy Advancement Team
(Mooresville/South Iredell Chamber of Commerce) Speaks in Reference to a
Resolution in Support of North Carolina's Hydrogen Initiatives: Mr. Thompson
said General Assembly Representative Julia Howard had requested endorsement from
the board of commissioners pertaining to the hydrogen economy. He said a study
prepared by Price Waterhouse Coopers had prddicted that in less than 18 years,
hydrogen technologies and related goods/services would exceed $1.7 trillion in
worldwide sales. Thompson said it was important for North Carolina to get involved in
the hydrogen economy, especially since it paid about $4.8 million a year towards H2
research/job creation in competing states. Mr. Thompson requested a "general"
resolution from the county with the following wording:
A world hydrogen economy is being developed rapidly for its renewability, air
quality, energy independence and economic growth advantages. Iredell County is well
positioned for a leadership position in emerging hydrogen -related industry.
Therefore the Iredell County Commission urges both Houses of the North
Carolina General Assembly to support State initiatives designed to advance hydrogen
research, commerce and employment. "

David Lambert, Solid Waste Director, Requests Adoption of a Resolution
Accepting and Endorsing the Solid Waste Management Plan of 2006: Mr. Lambert
presented the three-year update to the solid waste plan as required by G.S. 130A -
309.09A (b). He said the purpose of the plan was to meet local needs and to protect the
public's health. Lambert said the original plan was developed in FY 1990-91 when the
established per capita amount was 1.19 tons for the county. He said this was unrealistic,
and most all areas of the state had experienced a 20% increase. Mr. Lambert continued
by saying the capita of materials recovered had almost tripled since the last update
(2003). He said this amount was now 173 lbs per person vs. 60 in the past. Lambert
said the mission of the solid waste program was "to provide an environmentally
responsible waste disposal system while optimizing all resources fully." He cited the
following four planning goals:
