Statement - Government Supports Doppler Radar Project

| |
1Comments

Despite the clear need for identifying and developing alternative energy sources, the Ministry of District Administration, Works, Lands and Agriculture fully support the placement of the Doppler radar on part of the former Wilderness Farm in East End.

This site was identified by a team of experts from the Caribbean Meteorological Organisation as the most suitable for the optimal functioning of the radar. They looked at accessibility, power supply in the area, elevation and the fact that the site was inland, protected from sea spray.

Government Concerns

Although support of the doppler radar is important, the more important issue the government is shirking is, in fact, the use of alternative energy sources. Exploring wind, wave and solar energy would benefit the Caymanian people and the community far more, if not the same, as the doppler radar. Shifting of government concern to a radar system seems to only serve the purpose of perpetuating the issue and further charging the people in an economic slump.
