They know BP is a big player in the wind business right here in Cape Vincent. I wonder if they have considered all the implications when they push their agendas in political support of wind development which includes players like BP? Forget the CV water controversy for a minute. I wonder if former NY senator and current Cuomo appointed NY Ag and Markets Commissioner who has probably had his Acciona lease bought out by BP...I wonder if he has considered the implications of doing business with BP??? Really Commissioner Aubertine, this is who you want to business with????
See the video linked below. If you are a citizen of Cape Vincent and especially of Central NYS it should make you sick considering BP is busy right here in our back yards.

Also a paper article as a follow up.

189 American citizens died in Pan Am flight 103 terrorist incident. 35 were students from Syracuse University. Seems to me to let BP do business anywhere in the US is suspect, but particularly right here in NYS about 100 miles north of many of the families devastated by this terrorist disaster.
Many people come here from Syracuse. Some may even know some of the families.
I wonder if the lobbying techniques BP used on the British Govt to ensure the release of the Libyan prisoners which included the Pan Am 103 bomber, were used to lobby Governor Cuomo, and all the good American NYS legislators who passed the Artilce X legislation on behalf of wind developers including BP?
Legislation that could strip your home rule rights away for the very same BP!!!!
What is the true cost of the Power NY legislation that is to help keep NY open for business...Open for WHO AND WHAT??????? I wonder how those families of the Syracuse students might feel about this right on their door steps????
Really Gov. Cuomo????....Really NYS legislators???? This is how "NY Works For Business"??? while at the same time you strip away local home rule rights for energy giants with questionable records like BP??? Politically I don't think your support of energy giants like BP and complete disregard for NY citizens is worth the political cost to support your green agenda?
I would not want that blood on my hands.
And Sen. Schumer is getting to be regular in CV. At the time of this video he thought BP should suspend drilling in Libya over this matter. Well Senator, how about you express the same sentiment about BP when they could be about to do business right on the doorstep of the Syracuse families who had loved ones perish on Pan Am 103. AND they and Cuomo are ready to suspend the rights of Americans citizens with Article X to get that BP business done. Wonder if Schumer and the 103 families he so strongly advocates for know what's going on right in CV and the insidious circumstances of how that business could be allowed by Cuomo and NYS legislators on behalf of BP? What was that word Cuomo used on his visit to Watertown. Oh yes he was telling NY communities we all had to be "reasonable" when siting renewable energy in NY. Well I'm not sure the NY families of Pan Am 103 victims would consider this "reasonable"
Like Sen. Schumer suggests. I would like Marion Trieste, or Gov. Cuomo, or any NYS legislator or ANY public official who will sit by and let BP destroy CV...have them sit down across from the Pan Am 103 families and explain to them why BP should be allowed to do business here or in NY, and how American citizens rights could be stripped away on BP's behalf with Article X. See how that will play with those families!!!!
You know folks, I'm thinking, considering all this ... I really think it's time for BP and it's questionable activities and the Article X legislation that might back them to all go away in Cape Vincent...don't you?
Suggestion..
ReplyDeleteBlack background makes it nearly impossible for most to read.
Change your field to a very light color.
Thanks for the suggestion. I chose the black background because it nicely sets off the pictures. And the Blogger editor is also a giant pain in the ass to work with sometimes.
ReplyDeleteBut I have changed the font size and used white text that will contrast more. Hopefully that helps.
Thanks for reading
Nasty Bastards aren't they. Great to do business with no doubt. Aiders and abettors to removing a key player who could no longer be questioned about other co-consprators. As Schumer says in the video, people here have long memories.
