Caribbean Utilities Company (CUC) seeks court order to block release of costs report

I shall attempt to unpack the Caribbean Utilities Companies situation here in the Cayman Islands, as well that of its majority shareholder Fortis Inc of Canada. https://www.fortisinc.com which owns at least 60% of Caribbean Utilities Company Ltd.

“Realise therefore, that over half of every dollar of Caymanians hard earned money ends up in the pockets of Fortis Inc. Shareholders.”

In fact, the total foreign ownership of Caribbean Utilities Company is in the vicinity of 81%.

FortisBC will Invest Close to $700 Million to Reduce GHG Emissions and Lower Energy Costs for Customers

Reducing energy use is a key pillar in the company’s goal to lead the clean energy transformation in BC Canada.

FortisBC will invest a record CA$694.8 million to help customers reduce their energy use over the next four years, a key pillar in the company’s goal to lead the clean energy transformation in B.C. The investment will allow FortisBC to shift its efforts to more advanced energy-efficiency initiatives, build new energy-saving programs and work with Indigenous communities to develop targeted programs for their unique needs.

It is indeed interesting to note the difference between Fortis Inc’s policies in Canada and their regional policies in The Cayman Islands, The Turks & Caicos Islands and Belize.

In British Columbia (BC) Canada FortisBC will invest CA$694.8 million to help customers reduce their energy use over the next four years, a key pillar in the company’s goal to lead the clean energy transformation in B.C.

In the Cayman Islands however Caribbean Utilities Company is seeking court action to block the public release of a pair of reports containing details of its costs and the capacity of the Cayman Islands power grid to add new renewable energy.

Public sector transparency watchdog, the Ombudsman, had ordered the release of the reports following a protracted Freedom of Information dispute.

In a ruling which also highlighted concerns over apparent conflicts of interest involving Grand Cayman’s monopoly utility company, the Ombudsman decided in February that the two documents should be released.

The differences in policy between the way customers are treated by Fortis Inc in BC Canada, and how they are treated in the Caribbean by their subsidiary Caribbean Utilities Company Ltd (as well as Fortis Inc’s Belize and Turks & Caicos operations) leads to only one possible conclusion which is that their Cayman Islands operation is exceedingly profitable, and that they will do everything possible to maintain their monoply. The fact that the cost of living in the Cayman Islands is the highest in the world is obviously meaningless to the management of Caribbean Utilities Company as they are at heart Capitalists whose only care is Fortis Inc shareholder profits.

Peace Diplomacy & Anomalous Aerial Phenomena

I hope you are all doing well.   Here in the Caribbean time seems to stand still, however…

I very much feel that we, the Planet Earth, needs to start a conversation on Peacemaking and Diplomacy, both for our planet, our nation states, the Earth, as well to keep our Exreaterrestrial Visitors viewing us, without our typical warlike attitude, but rather in a calm and civilised manner..

My feelings in this regard are strengthened when I hear Steven Greer  and other researchers, speaking of UAPs (UFOs, UAPs, Anomalous Aerial Phenomena) being shot or brought down, some allegedly by members of the the defense industry and also by the US government.
Given that our neighbours from afar have proven themselves to be far more advanced than we are, we Homo Sapiens, may come off  as the losers.

I am shall to speak to a few academic colleague who were with me at the Peace Studies Department, University of Bradford where I was doing a nMasters degree. I shall also email my thesis supervisor to see if he may want to contribute to a White Paper which perhaps would publish be published by a newly formed foundation in California.

My premise is to start, as well as steer,  a conversation on Peacemaking and Diplomacy, and the  necessity  to have ongoing conversations on these topics in the short term, before  we reach a conflict flash point.

I see this point in time as an opportunity that could be used to bring all major nation states together with a common goal, as President Ronald Reagan’s Address to the United Nations General Assembly in New York City, New York on September 21, 1987
‘Transcript: https://bit.ly/43C2z0v’
with the payoff being the equitable and peacefull sharing of all previously discovered Non Human Technology, for the benefit of all beings on Planet Earth.

President Regan said: “Perhaps we need some outside universal threat to make us recognize this common bond’.

This project may be a way to keep peace on this planet, particularly between China, Russia and the United States, as well keep peacefull relations  with our extraterrestrial visitors.

I look forward to your feedback and suggestions.
