Mayor’s controversial gas-plant statement survives tied Tantramar council vote |


"Mike says:

I guess nobody’s paying attention to the current BESS incident happening at the solar farm in Summerside, PEI? Toxic plume. Shelter in place, voluntary evacuation? This is real. People need to understand all the parameters of any technology- conventional or emerging.https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/prince-edward-island/pei-summerside-solar-farm-fire-school-cancelled-9.7336769

  • Percy Best Best says:

    Since the cause of the Summerside fire was from the heavy driving rain intruding into the battery containers, I do wonder why they did not put an open sided canopy system over all of the battery packs and install many of their solar panels on top, like a large flat topped building would have.

    It would be a much more efficient way to utilize land than they did with the independent, open to the weather installation.

    It would have provided a basically dry enclosure for the battery packs similar to the canopies at gas stations and this fire event may not have occurred.

    • Mike says:

      I see your point – however, the batteries have to be enclosed in a weather tight, temperature controlled environment much like a shipping container (heating, cooling, ventilation) to a sweet spot of 70F. The Battery failure occurs when that temperature is not maintained. When they discovered the failure they first had to isolate it from the rest of the enclosures. When it starts to burn it can’t be extinguished – water doesn’t work. Foaming it to smother it doesn’t work. It doesn’t need air to burn as it’s self consuming. If you could safely lift it with a cherry picker and drop it into a deep pool, it’d keep burning. So plume monitoring and collection of contaminated water is about all they can do. The temp can reach 1000 F – explosion can occur"

Rural Area Street Lights - Discussion with Town Councillor Ward 4 Kristen Leblanc [Facebook]

Found here:  Facebook [sometimes I can view Facebook but I am not allowed to have an account, for like years, FYI, but I do like to see what the rural folks are saying .. I don't want them ignored at all] 

Curiosity Question for Constituents

While driving along Route 940 North this evening, I noticed that once you leave Ward 4, there are streetlights installed along portions of the road. The fixtures appear to be directed downward toward the roadway, which helps limit light pollution.

It got me wondering about public opinion on rural streetlighting. Some people feel that lighting at dangerous turns and intersections improves visibility and safety for motorists, cyclists, and pedestrians.

Others prefer to preserve darker skies and the rural character of the area.

What's your perspective?

Would you support streetlights at high-risk intersections and sharp curves along Route 940, or do you feel these areas are better left unlit?

This isn't a proposal or formal survey- just a curiosity question to hear what residents think. 💭

I look forward to reading your thoughts and experiences.

Thank you!"

"Pam Novak

Nope. We don't need more light pollution. In the 31 years I have been here, I have noticed such an increase in glowing skies from the nearby towns. It is not safe for wildlife, and a waste of generated energy. The dark skies of rural life should be treasured. (See The Dark Sky Initiative.) Folks out here don't know how lucky we are. We have spectular night skies complete with the Milky Way and Aurora Borealis viewing. During bad weather, road lighting at night can create glare and distoration. Put our tax dollars into the seasonal reflective markers on both sides of the roads (they have guided me through the worst of winter storms through Rt. 940, but there was a noticeable decrease of them this past winter), have better and safer road markings and conditions, clear the growth back from the edges of the road that is getting notoriously longer and invasive onto the road, and reflective signs at dangerous curves and intersections. Introduce public campaigns to remind folks to slow down at night and bad weather, watch for wildlife (especially in high wildlife corridor areas,) maintain your car headlights, and don't throw your trash out the friggin windows of your car - which all increase domestic and wild animals coming closer onto the roads."

"Dawn Troop
I feel that a few streetlights at dangerous areas would be amazing, I work nightshift and coming home on a moonless night it's VERY black....I would feel much safer with 'a few' streetlights along the 940"

"Shelly Haley
I think street lights would be great in some areas. I know this was discussed before about them in areas and I think that one at Forks rd and route 940 would be good as wildlife crosses there"

"Jacky Price
I'm opposed, I want to preserve as much rural living as possible. No streetlights, no sidewalks please, we've gotten this many years without them."

"Andy Mills
Don't need them and don't want them. It would be just another excuse to raise taxes and for nb power to increase rates."

Bruce Wark Boosts Reactionaries Protesting RIGS Gas Plant Project - Could He Be Adding to The Hysteria?

"Councillor Greene responded that the assistant clerk had also heard the word ‘bomb’.

“And the threats, which I would define them as that, that this will be the next Oka, I did report those concerns to the RCMP as well,” she said.

“Because yes, they have had peaceful protests. They can change quickly and we need to ensure that that does not happen,” she added.

“If people get very upset about a concern or an issue in our community, people can be incited by even a single individual to behave in an inappropriate fashion and we want to ensure that we have good, clear headings moving forward on this and any other issue,” Greene concluded."

From Bruce Wark's latest article here:

  Mayor’s controversial gas-plant statement survives tied Tantramar council vote |

Gen X Councillor Greene keeps it real.. and she is actually a really good soul for pointing out the problem with radicals who infiltrate activism groups.. if you are not familiar with this tactic yet I would think watching a documentary on the "Weather Underground" might help you out.. if you are naive that's a problem too.. and since the average age of people in this town is 51 there is no excuse for being ignorant when you have access to the internet... By behaving as angry reactionaries and I have questioned WHY their online group on Facebook is "closed" rather than open and transparent for good reason as they are not forthcoming with their actions, intentions, deeds, and discussions [THAT is a problem] but yet they will complain the government and NB Power are deceptive players -- this protest group of Sackville's "Seniors for Climate" group are well networked and are propagandized by many outside forces and most surely are unable to recognize they are being used as tools -- and they seem to be getting LOTS of boosting by Bruce Wark who does not always publish comments left at his website FYI -- you're actually adding to the noise and provocation rather than keeping calm and listening to more voices.  Greene is correct to caution the public.

I am glad Councillor Greene bothers to speak out as she would have been privileged to hear from many people in our town and region.. and she is also honest enough to tell you what is being said and what concerns her; she has no reason to lie about anything but she is concerned and is speaking up now when it matters.  Dep. Mayor Josh Goguen attempting to diminish Greene's credibility by saying the local protest group is peaceful [they have behaved as an angry mob in the past and yelled in council meetings in the town hall thereby intimidating people including the former Mayor Andrew Black and Deputy Mayor Matt Estabrooks] when Goguen in truth has no idea who is behind the "group" and what they might be capable of and what their tactics in the future might look like.. intimidation certainly plays a role as no one locally would dare speak up in favour of the gas plant at this point for fear of retribution by these organized folks I will call THE MOB .. Goguen is young and very naive and also has in the past been questioned at this blog for running a private and large Facebook group [gossip zone] in our region.  One of the reasons this blog even exists is to counteract the radical greens in this region who dominate the rest and interfere with the local schools organizing "Climate Strikes" and other nonsense.
