Iqela lamatsha ntliziyo elinamaqela oxolo kwiNtshona ye-NC lakhathazeka kakhulu ekufundeni ngezicwangciso zikaPratt & Whitney (P&W), inkampani yenkampani yezokhuselo yomkhosi iRaytheon Technologies, yokwenza iinjini zeenqwelo moya kwiihektare ezili-100 zomhlaba ococekileyo ngakumfula obanzi waseFrance. kubo ngeedola ezili-1 yiBiltmore Farms, LLC njengenxalenye yesivumelwano semfihlo.
I-P&W ivelisa iinjini zasekuhlaleni, zorhwebo kunye nezomkhosi zeejethi, ezifana ne-F-35. Kamva kwafunyaniswa ukuba i-20% yemveliso yeplanti ecetywayo iya kuba yeendawo ze-injini yomkhosi. I-Raytheon yinkampani yesibini enkulu yokhuselo lwe-aerospace emhlabeni, efumana ingeniso malunga namashumi amabini eminyaka yemfazwe e-Afghanistan nase-Iraq, kwaye yenye yezona zinto zibonelela ngezixhobo ezinkulu eSaudi Arabia, eqhuba imfazwe yokubulala abantu iminyaka emininzi ngokuchasene nabantu baseYemen.
I-P&W iye yazibandakanyile kwiingxoxo namagosa edolophu isithuba esingaphezu konyaka, nangona kunjalo eli phulo labhengezwa kuluntu ngo-Oct 22, 2020. Ikomishoni yedolophu yaseBuncombe yayimiselwe ukuba ivotele kwi-27 yezigidi zeerandi ekurhoxisweni kwerhafu yepropathi kwisigidi esinye se-square foot $160 yezigidi. P&W plant kwintlanganiso yayo nge-17 Nov., 2020.
Ummeli we-WBW wendawo uLaurie Timmermann unike inkcazo yemizuzu emi-3 kwintlanganiso, kwaye ungenise izimvo ezibhaliweyo kwiKhomishoni yeNqila yaseBuncombe, ngezantsi.

Bakomishinala abaBelekileyo beNqila yaseBuncombe:
Njengevolontiya lendawo kunye World BEYOND War, ndikhonza ngaphezulu kwe-400 yabemi abanomdla woxolo kwi-WNC kunye namawaka amalungu asebenzayo kulo lonke elase-US nakwihlabathi jikelele, ndibhalela ukujoyina i-NC Peace Action ukuqinisekisa iinqobo zokuphelisa imfazwe, ukubeka phambili inkcubeko yoxolo, kunye nokhuseleko olungenamkhosi.
Abahlali base-Asheville kunye ne-Buncombe County kunye neeholide zendawo baxabisa ukukhuselwa okuqinisekisiweyo kumgangatho wendalo kunye nokukhuthaza uxolo phakathi kwezizwe. Emva kokufunda iinkcukacha ezipheleleyo, abaninzi banokuziva bedanile ukuba ikhomishini yeKanti yaseBuncombe iceba ukunika i-27 yezigidi zeerandi kwinkuthazo kwiplanti enkulu ecetywayo yePratt & Whitney yokuvelisa iinxalenye zenjini yejethi kwiihektare ezili-100 zomhlaba ocwengileyo ecaleni koMlambo iFrench Broad kufutshane. Indawo ekufutshane neBlue Ridge Parkway, North Carolina Arboretum, kunye neBent Creek River Park.
I-Buncombe County ayikwazi ukukwazi ukuphinda i-CTS ye-Asheville electroplating plant superfund site kwi-Mills Gap Road e-South Asheville ekhupha amanqanaba ayingozi e-TCE, kunye ne-10 nezinye i-carcinogens, iminyaka engaphezu kwe-30 kwaye ayikalungiswa ngokupheleleyo.
I-Pratt & Whitney jet injini yeplanti eNorth Haven, CT ikhuphe i-5.4 yezigidi zeeponti zeekhemikhali eziyityhefu phakathi kwe-1987 kunye ne-2002, ngelixa i-West Palm Beach yayo, i-FL plant ineendawo eziyi-47 zenkunkuma eziyityhefu ezibandakanya enye yeendawo ezinobungozi ezinkulu ze-EPA.
Zeziphi izilumkiso ezifunekayo zokuthintela ukuvuza okunetyhefu kunye neengozi, iimfuno zengxelo kawonke-wonke ekhawulezileyo yako nakuphi na ukuchitheka okanye ungcoliseko, amalungiselelo olungiso olupheleleyo, kunye neemfuno zembuyekezo kwidolophu kunye nakubo nabaphi na abantu abonzakeleyo?
UPratt & Whitney yinxalenye yeRaytheon Technologies, umvelisi wezixhobo wesithathu ngobukhulu emhlabeni. URaytheon unerekhodi yokwenza inzuzo kwiibhiliyoni ngokuthengisa iijethi zokulwa eSaudi Arabia eye yasoyikisa iYemen iminyaka ngokuqhuba kakuhle. I-16,749 ihlaselo lomoya, ibulala abantu, ibangela indlala kunye nokuqhambuka kwekholera.
Kutheni inqaku leCitizen's Times malunga nesityalo esicetywayo sePratt & Whitney sasekhaya sinenjini ye-F135 yejethi yokulwa ye-F-35 Lightning II? Ngalo lonke ithuba, uPratt noWhitney baya kwakha iindawo zeenjini kwi-F-35 kunye nomgca wayo weenjini zomkhosi, eziya kuthi ekugqibeleni zithengiswe kumazwe afana neSaudi Arabia, i-United Arab Emirates (UAE), kunye no-Israyeli abaxhaphaza amalungelo oluntu. .
La mabango akakho kude. Ukusukela nge-11 kaNovemba ka-2020, ulawulo lukaTrump lufuna ukukhawulezisa intengiso enkulu yomzuzu wokugqibela yeedola ezingama-23.37 eebhiliyoni kwiijethi zokulwa, iidrones kunye neebhombu kwi-UAE eyenza ubugwenxa eYemen.
Esi sivumelwano phakathi kweeFama zeBiltmore, i-LLC kunye nePratt kunye noWhitney/Raytheon sagcinwa siyimfihlo, igama lefemu lalibanjiwe nakumanqaku kawonke-wonke, kwaye iiFama zeBiltmore zafaka isicelo semvume yokusingqongileyo egameni layo ngokusilela elubala. Ukumanyelwa kokusingqongileyo kwakucwangcisiwe kodwa kwarhoxiswa ngoMatshi ngenxa yokuvalwa kwe-COVID.
Abahlali baseBuncombe County bafanele ukwaziswa ngokufanelekileyo ngezi zicwangciso. Isigqibo esinikezela ngezi mpembelelo zeNqila kufuneka sirhoxiswe de abemi babe nexesha elaneleyo lokuphonononga nokuvavanya iziphumo ezibi zomngcipheko wokungcoliseka kwendalo kunye neziphumo zokuziphatha ezikhathazayo.
Sonke sinokuzuza kwimfundo kwimodeli yeshishini lePratt kunye neWhitney / Raytheon kunye nembali yokwenza ukubulala (ngenzuzo), ngokwenza ukubulala (kwimfazwe, ukuqhuma ibhomu nokufa).
Ewe, ummandla wethu udinga uqoqosho olwahlukeneyo ngakumbi, kodwa ngaba oko kuthetha ukunika inkuthazo karhulumente kunye nokurhoxiswa kweerhafu zepropathi kwiRaytheon Technologies iqabane uPratt & Whitney, oceba ukwenza iinjini zejethi kwiihektare ezili-100 zomhlaba ocwengileyo, ezinikwe zona ngaseFransi. Umlambo obanzi?
Sicela ukuba abameli bethu abanyuliweyo basebenze kunye kwaye bathathe zonke izilumkiso ezifanelekileyo ekuthathweni kwezigqibo ngenxa yeziphumo zexesha elide ezisesichengeni.
