Questions remain ~ How does Does BP's divestment of wind affect Cape Vincent and does BP consider CVWF to be shovel ready?


  The DEC's review of BP's Preliminary Scoping Statement highlights an important question. 

 According to the PSS, Cape Vincent Wind Power, LLC is a New York limited liability
company, currently a wholly-owned subsidiary of BP Wind Energy North America Inc., (“BP Wind Energy”) a Delaware corporation with headquarters in Houston, Texas. BP Wind Energy is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of BP p.l.c. (“BP”), a company organized under the laws of England and Wales with international headquarters in London, U.K. BP Wind Energy has interests in 16 wind farms in 9 states worth $5 billion and having a gross generating capacity of nearly 2,600 MW.


five days after filing the PSS, it was reported that “Conglomerate BP says it will divest its U.S. wind portfolio - more than 2.6 GW of installed capacity - in order to focus on its core oil and gas
business…According to a company spokesperson, the company's portfolio also includes projects in various stages of development, including an additional 2 GW of projects that are nearly shovel ready.”
How such a divestment will affect CVWP and the project, and whether BP considers CVWF “shovel ready” is not yet known.

If you listen to the Aubertine-HW Dems and the GK CFFG they would tell you that wind is behind us and we should elect one of their public office ignorant kids to the town board so they can heal the community.
BaaaaaWAhahahahahahahahahahahaha. Couldn't they at least find us a nurse?

Shovel ready? I don't think so.

According to the DEC and the DPS and Save the River it appears that the work done so far is so deficient that they should start over again. You can thank the past town officials for their conflicts and leases, disregard for others and shoddy work for that one. Thank DA too for his disregard for the community and very bad advice and ultimate loss of respect for the CV farming community.

The only shovels they have readied are those that were used to put up all those test towers that the Zoning Officer is begging permit fees for.
