The Delimara peninsula was chosen because the power station had to be sited in a bay close to where freighters could unload the heavy fuel oil for its consumption. With the Marsa Power Station planned to be closed down due to its proximity to a densely populated area, the site for a new location had to be focused on a bay as far as possible from a built-up area.

In conformity with Rumpelstiltskin, you should be reminded that Mintoff was amply rewarded for the “inconvenience” his summer residence is alleged to have suffered to the tune of LM 750,000 that his heirs are probably thanking the PN for the windfall.

Most of the huge petroleum tanks located at Birzebbuga were erected during the British Colonial period and cannot be attributed to Fenech Adami or even any PN Administration.

If you sincerely believe that all criticism about the LPG tanker is hype, just answer these questions:

1. Was there justifiably any necessity to build a new power station to be run on LPG to be supplied directly from a monstrous tanker storing considerable supplies of hazardous gas berthed day and night in a location where container and freight traffic is high?

2. Is the interconnector link providing electricity to the Maltese Islands from the European grid presently in operation at quite cheap rates compared to the past provider not suitable to be retained until the underwater LPG pipeline link project to Sicily is finalised?

3. Why has the Muscat Administration steadfastly refused to publish the Environmental Impact Assessment Report on the berthing of the LPG tanker in Marsaxlokk Bay?

If you live at Birzebbuga as stated and own your own dwelling, have you ever checked about its current resale value now that the LPG tanker berthing has become a reality and is here to stay for as long as the LP Administration pleases?

I hope you keep these points in mind before voting at the next general election.

To say that Fenech Adami built the Delimara power station to spite Mintoff is being disingenuous. Moreover, Mintoff was handsomely rewarded for the ‘inconvenience.’ His heirs probably bless the PN in their heart of hearts for the bonanza.

No, it was hidden away at Ghajn Tuffieha. As if something so big can be hidden away all the time. How stupid do they think we are?

Probably the boat tours to Marsaxlokk were postponed because there was a bubbly crowd in the church square of the picturesque fishing village.
