It is SO VERY apparent now, though it has been discussed before, that WAPA has chosen the wrong way to reduce electricity bills for the people. It has been suggested that WAPA make available at a low interest rate green energy to all consumers. Consumers could opt for wind or solar, sign an agreement that would be equal to or less than current usage bill, and wind up owning the equipment that would supply the majority of power needed to live. WAPA would in short be financing alternate energy, that would in turn create capitol for repairs to existing plants, which in turn would place less of a demand on the plants. RIGHT HERE IN ST CROIX we have alternative energy companies that could in fact supply the needed power generation components needed to do this, AND! GET THIS…we could hire locally to manufacture and install. I saw a news report on Caribbean Wind Technologies, it seems that this system could be placed anywhere on the island.

Hey Governor…Ever heard of Plasma Arc Plants. They incinerate everything with very little pollutants. Oh.. I’m sorry to let the cat out of the bag, a logical solution to the dump problem!!!….and no one will get rich at the expense of our healths either.. how silly of me to suggest such a stupid idea…My apology. Plasma Arc Plants are popping up all over the world in China,Japan, and even in Florida with very successful results. Maybe you should go and check one out!!!

This Alpine deal sound like another one of deJongh’s one-sided schemes where we give away our children’s financial and environmental future to benefit a big corporation. Why???

Rock City, if you do a little research you will see that a similar project was proposed for Corpus Christi, TX. This link does a good job at pointing out what burning petcoke is all about.

Who is going to pay for this Pet Coke Plant after everyone on St Thomas is dead from cancer? I hear that the ash that is left over from burning of Pet Coke is very deadly stuff to every living thing and the environment.

One has to wonder exactly who’s hands got greased in this deal. PSC, Senators, deJongh, Hodge, Cornwall CZM (soon to permit) to name a few………this deal is so bad for all of us and for those to come. The contract is so one sided for the consulting company of Alpine it is unbelievable all have endorsed this project. And Alpine has NEVER done a project like this one EVER, ANYWHERE.
The meeting will be very telling indeed.
