CAPE VINCENT — The Town Council, in its formal review of BP Wind Energy’s preliminary scoping statement, described what it calls several shortcomings in the developer’s statement on the proposed Cape Vincent Wind Farm.
Town officials said BP has “subtly mischaracterized” Cape Vincent throughout its statement to fit its purposes and development plans.[Watertown Times]

Thanks again for your wonderfully illuminating and thorough coverage of this highly controversial matter, WDT. It's becoming pretty clear now after six or seven years that you have no interest in looking inch below the surface of this matter.
Give the WDT a break. This issue is far too complicated for the Times to cover or even understand. As for the TI they have their own newspaper and it is doing a good job. Remember, the Ogdensburg editor and the paper fought Hammond all the way.
Perhaps the WDT has drunk the same Kool-Aid as Harold Wiley, "They will come, they will come."
BULLCRAP!
Once again, the Watertown Daily Rag speaks volumes about its lack of coverage of the latest Albany news on the proposed BP wind project in Cape Vincent. Several NYS agencies just "lowered the boom" on the total lack of information and facts from BP about their wind project in Cape Vincent. This news was beyond great for the citizens of Cape Vincent who have been asking for more information and fighting the good fight protecting the town from this disasterous plan to put 124 - 500' wind turbines all over Cape.
Something tells me that if the news out of Albany had been more favorable to BP it would have been front pages news. This kind of biased reporting is the main reason I and others have stopped subscriptions to the paper.
Over the past several years, in my opinion, the WDT has done a good job representing the 3.9% of the town that hold BP leases - while pretty much ignoring the 96% of the town citizens. One thing for sure, no one could ever accuse the paper of fair, unbiased reporting on the BP wind project in Cape Vincent.
This is all the
Watered down Times can handle
If you want to change the way the news is presented, try placing a $3600 Ad. Sometimes you people in Cape Vincent just don't get it.
We people in Cape Vincent don't get it. I think we get it just fine. Wind jockeys and local crooks have been trying to cram two wind projects down our pie holes for almost a decade. Jockeys and crooks are further behind then they've ever been, thanks to those "people in Cape Vincent (who) just don't get it." Ha! From the looks of it I think those people get it just fine; even finer when BP GOES HOME by the end of the summer.
