Some answers came by phone to Comm. Clottey this morning from the Director of Gov. and Regulatory Affairs….and V.P. of Suez….
To their credit they responded …and answered all of the questions she had asked and more that she asked in this second round…
Citizens……whatever their personal views are on this project ….should be assured and impressed by the level of input that is coming from all involved in this pressing issue…
Just a few of the highlights…with details and specifics …sure to be addressed by Comm. Clottey at the 6/11/08 commission meeting…when Calypso/Suez will be on the agenda…
according to the gentlemen …
State and national officials were aware of this project from 2002…
40 organizations were informed of this project…from 2002/2003….
Initially they indicated they were not aware of Hollywoods approval for the pipeline….from the Bahamas…stating it was not them….
later in the conversation…they did discuss the very project with its approval in 2004…previous post…
The present location for the port is due to….
it being a industrialized area…not heavily populated….
BCbythesea… the Comm. took issue with this …stating the opposite is fact….we are definitely heavily populated…
It can not be in Miami-Dade…because the government would not approve it….due to the Biscayne Aquatic Reserve….
It can not be north because FGT…(Florida Gas Transmission)…and FPL did not want it that far away…with less industrial customers…
Wind tests were done at 2.6 meters per second…producing a bigger burn …with a 3.9 mile radius….
the lower the wind speed…keeps the gas cloud together…
the higher the speed …disperses the gas quickly…
example used…blowing out a match….
more to come…..
