The Navajo Hopi Observer reports:
Two years after extensive work with International Piping Products (IPP) and Sempra Energy on a wind farm project, Cameron Chapter President Edward Singer learned from a press release that the Navajo Nation was instead working with Citizens Energy to develop its own wind farm in Grey Mountain, which is a part of the Cameron Chapter.
Singer spent time talking about his frustrations with the proposed Citizens project-something he had attempted to do through letters to the editors to local newspapers. Singer said that this led him to publish his Jan. 15 letter (published as a full page ad in the Feb. 4 issue of the Observer) to Joseph Kennedy II, the chairman and president of the Citizens Energy Corporation of Boston, Mass.

Navajo Community Demands Joe Kennedy II Stop Interfering with Wind Farm
The Cameron Chapter of the Navajo Nation, Cameron A.Z., is actively developing a wind project on Gray Mountain, a site located in their community. International Piping Products (IPP) and Sempra Energy are the energy development companies that have been working with the Cameron Chapter for several years on the Navajo Wind Project at Gray Mountain.
The community selected IPP and Sempra to conduct a wind feasibility study and, if feasible, to develop the wind project. The community based initiative has made substantial progress on all aspects of development and determined that a wind project should be feasible at the site.
Since June 2008, Citizens Energy Corporation, led by CEO Joseph P. Kennedy II, and the Diné Power Authority have been actively interfering in Cameron’s community based initiative, attempting to take away control of the project from Cameron. Kennedy’s actions have obstructed project development, delaying the much-needed income and jobs that this project will create for the Cameron Chapter and the Navajo Nation.
He visited the Cameron Chapter for the first time on December 11, 2008 to present the Citizen’s Energy proposal to develop a wind project on Gray Mountain. The community once again turned down his proposal.
Subsequently, on December 16th, Kennedy wrote a letter to then in-coming president of the Cameron Chapter, Ed Singer. President Singer’s response to Mr. Kennedy’s letter is attached.
