Money Talks!!!

On the blog Pandora’s Box of Rocks you can see a press release from Gov. Cuomo granting more funds to support renewable energy in NYS, including wind projects.

At many of these events Cuomo marches out the comments of at least two faithful and important state agency leaders. The NYPSC and NYSERDA. You can see their obedient comments below on behalf of Cuomo and renewable energy.

Below are some quotes from the article.

Governor Cuomo Announces $191 Million in Project Awards to Increase Renewable Energy in New York State

" Governor Cuomo said. "New York has one of the most ambitious and responsible renewable energy targets in the nation: 30 percent by 2015.

With this ambitious target do you think Cuomo is just going to set a precedent that any town with a tough wind zoning law just walks away free? Especially when he could be getting 200+ megawatts of wind energy from BP or some other wind player if BP sells…and especially when he came to NNY and told communities that we have to be “reasonable”!!!

Then a quote from NYSERDA!

Francis J. Murray Jr., President and CEO of NYSERDA said, "The RPS has been instrumental in attracting private investment in renewable energy and supporting the state's clean energy agenda. Thanks to Governor Cuomo's commitment to clean-energy investment, we will help create jobs, improve our environment and strengthen our energy security in New York."

Why is Francis Murray important to Cape Vincent?   He or someone he designates sits on the Art. X siting board that will determine CV’s future with BP’s wind farm!

Garry Brown, Chairman of the PSC said, "The generation of electricity from renewable sources increases energy diversity and promotes a better environment for us all. Renewable energy, along with our energy efficiency efforts, provides our best hope toward ending dependency on fossil fuels, improving regional economies, and reducing harmful emissions."
Why is Garry Brown important to CV?   Well he is  the Chairman of the Art. X siting board that will determine CV’s future with BP’s wind farm!

This sure doesn’t make me feel real comfortable that playing in the Art. X game that all these guys control is going to turn out real well for Cape Vincent!!!
