Alternative Energy - the time is now and there’s no looking back. By Sam Duncombe Director reEarth
July 28 2008
After last weeks message coming from the Caribbean Regional Sustainable Energy Conference put on by the US Embassy and Hosted by The Bahamas government, reEarth hopes Aaron Samson of AES Corp. has realized that although we may be a small nation we are certainly not a stupid one.
Mr. Samson has been promoting his fossilized LNG product over our radio waves over the last month, promising that he can lower our energy costs by addicting us to natural gas instead of oil. That logic is tantamount to trying to wean a cocaine addict by addicting them to heroin. Thanks but no thanks Mr. Samson. Natural gas addiction is no solution for our current or future energy problems. (more…)

For the record reEarth unequivocally rejects the latest proposal by the LNG facility as nothing more than public bribery and deceit. The demand for gas has skyrocketed and going to the highest bidder, which is often not the US, so one has to ask why the continued push to place an LNG facility in the Bahamas?

For Immediate Release
reEarth encouraged by US Ambassador’s Comments on renewable energy and cautions on LNG
reEarth was delighted to read the following statement by US Ambassador Ned Siegel.
“Protecting the environment does not stop at the ocean’s edge. We need to find new, clean energy efficient technologies, but more importantly, we have to find renewable energy resources,”
The Ambassadors comments are particularly poignant given that the American AES project to site a LNG regasification terminal at Ocean Cay south of Bimini continues to hang over the Bahamas like a pall. There is nothing “new”, “clean” or “renewable” about LNG. (more…)
