I will never not share this when I see it. @13WHAM reading a script instead of presenting us with real news tailored to our community. 8 companies own all of television stations in the US. 8!
Our grid is under heavy strain because our governor has moronically taken RELIABLE energy generation offline over the last 6 years to back up the 2019 Climate Act.
They used an existential climate “threat” to justify tanking our grid.
Instead of admitting solar and wind don’t work as reliable forms of energy generation in New York, they’d rather control your thermostat.
That’s also why they’re pushing for smart meters.
Scenes out of Byron, New York, where Genesee County has been flattened beyond repair for foreign corporations intent on grabbing green energy credits and subsidies.
Genesee County, not coincidentally, has the highest percentage of classified farmland of any county in New York.
Since New York State uses its own soil classification system for farmland (starting in 2020), it’s been able to downgrade what’s considered prime farmland by U.S. Department of Agriculture standards.
Why would New York want to do that?
Foreign developers have to pay to “mitigate” the loss of prime farmland. By downgrading what’s considered prime, it spares the corporations from having to pay for the destruction of the land that feeds us.
This is the biggest grift ever peddled on the people on New York. And now this is the disgustingly hideous result.

It's never, ever going to be enough for the Office of Renewable Energy Siting (ORES).
They are going to develop our rural towns into "renewable" oblivion if they are not stopped with lawsuits and the federal government.
Byron, New York, which is already forcibly playing host to the 280MW Excelsior Solar through ORES (over 3,500 acres), has now been sited for a second ORES solar complex called "Brusselville Solar."
The map is attached below.
Brusselville Solar is projected to be 170MW in size, bringing the total solar burden shouldered by ONE rural Upstate NY town to 450MW.
In total, that is, including perimeter fencing, setbacks, and access roads, over 6,000 acres lost to a form of energy that, in Western NY, only coverts at 12% of its annual potential in our climate.
For comparison, the hamlet of Byron is only 400 acres in size.
Do you understand yet why Upstate New Yorkers are crying out in desperation? Our towns, history, culture, farmland, and businesses are being swallowed whole for a global green energy grift.
Commercial solar produces intermittent, unreliable power that is sent far away from our hamlets and villages. Our electric bills haven't gone down... they've TRIPLED!
Everyone needs to wake up to the ecoterrorism being waged against our agrarian towns and counties.
For those of you in Byron, New York: I am so sorry for what the state has done to your home. I will never, ever forgive them. I want to see people held accountable and removed from office in disgrace, to start.
Hang in there.
