Where's the Premier?

Is the Premier in town?
I thought he was...
No word out of his office that he's away - curious because:

February 11, 2007 -- Quebec City, Quebec – Vermont Governor Jim Douglas today joined Quebec Premier Jean Charest in calling for the region to adopt a host of energy measures to combat the growing costs – both economic and environmental – of global warming.

In opening remarks at the Conference of New England Governors and Eastern Canadian Premiers forum on energy and the environment, Gov. Douglas said he was proud of the work Vermont and other jurisdictions had already done. Douglas emphasized, however, that a greater reliance on conservation, efficiency and renewable sources of energy is a key component of the entire region’s economic and environmental future.

Noting that five eastern provinces of Canada and the six New England states have worked together on many issues over nearly three decades, Gov. Douglas said doing so now is increasingly important.

Now Premier you are not missing this most important gathering on Energy with your so-called markets for a by-election are you?

So Premier - New Brunswick wants some power eh?

Sometimes Premier Williams - you are a bluff - you know a real bluff.
Energy Warehouse - Energy Powerhouse - Energy Plan - Energy blah blah blah...

Last week you spewed out something about New Brunswick wanting a block of power - yep they want more than that - they probably want Newfoundland and Labrador to pay for the Power Corridor they want with Maine - funny they have a Memorandum of Understanding - what do we have?

Another one at the trough for Labrador Power to develop industry in Maine and New Brunswick.

Here's the latest out of Maine - you know - our potential customer!

Here's a taste of a story in the Bangor Daily News:

BANGOR - Maine and New Brunswick committed Friday to exploring a joint power pool from which the state and province could draw and share electricity.

Gov. John Baldacci and Premier of New Brunswick Shawn Graham beamed as they signed an agreement to form a partnership and analyze the legal, technical and environmental implications of sharing power across the border.

They addressed an audience of about 30 local business owners, lawyers and representatives of local power companies at the Eastern Maine Community College library.

"I’ve talked more on the phone to Premier Graham [in the last four months] than I have to any other premier in the last four years," Baldacci said. "Together we can expand the clean energy market, reduce carbon pollution, all the while creating new jobs and increasing the production of a clean, environmentally responsible product we can export to both countries."

Now what does that say Williams - when the Governor of Maine is on the phone with Shawn Graham (Premier NB) 4 times more than with you or any other Premier? Who is it that has all the power potential again?

Gas
Oil
Wind
Tidal
Wave
Hydro

That's Newfoundland and Labrador - what does New Brunswick offer????
