@alex_fasulo I bet there’s no commercial solar installations taking over Erie County😉

This is one of the best illustrations of what socialism (in any form) does to the poor. It promises a ladder of programs & benefits but can’t lift people out of poverty. No country on earth has made the poor better off under socialist governments.

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.

The great lie is that society is divided between rich and poor.
The great truth, as David Friedberg puts it, is makers vs takers.

Makers build, create, and deliver real value: houses, software, art, businesses, and everything that moves civilization forward.

Takers watch, criticize, analyze, and politic. They push the lie that the rich hoard unfairly so the poor must seize it… all while positioning themselves to rule the chaos.

As @friedberg tells his kids: “At the end of the day, if you made something and someone else valued it, you were a maker. That was an amazing achievement. That is a great day.”

Takers thrive on division. Makers drive progress.

Time to choose your side.

Hitchens: ”In 1786, when the United States was barely a country, it was having its sailors taken as slaves by the Barbary states, the states of the Ottoman Empire and North Africa. Ships stopped, its crews carried off into slavery.”

"I'd still rather see thousand-acre solar complexes than fracking!"

A lot of people comment this under my posts. I get why they comment it. They aren't aware of the drilling that's occurring to install commercial-scale solar and wind complexes around New York State.

The irony has to be called out.

New York State pushes back on fracking because of concerns about subsurface unpredictability, lack of confidence in containment underground, and fear of fluid migration into groundwater. As the state says, the "long-term environmental unknowns" aren't worth it.

If this doesn't prove that virtue-signaling is at the center of the energy debate in this state, I don't know what does.

At Horseshoe Solar in Rush and Caledonia, New York, a major renewable corporation performed Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) 7 times under the Genesee River.

"Why is a solar company 400 feet down?"

They were attempting to connect the solar arrays on both sides of the river. They drilled down into karst soils and were warned by dozens of people and experts that this carried significant risk.

Invenergy drilled anyway. You know why? They want their green energy subsidies and credits... and they know ORES (Office of Renewable Energy Siting) isn't going to monitor what they are doing.

As of last month, 3 of the 7 HDD holes were filling with water. This past February, Invenergy punctured their aquifer. ORES gave Invenergy the OK to insert hydrophobic polyurethane foam and chemical grout to plug the aquifer puncture. Multiple homes suffered water quality impacts or loss of water.

Once you puncture a confined water system and inject chemicals to fix it, you are operating in a system where flow paths are invisible and predicted behavior is modeled... not observed.

Wait a minute... doesn't that sound EXACTLY like what New York is trying to avoid with fracking? Bingo! Groundwater to surrounding properties was contaminated.

The material Invenergy is using to plug "these holes" isn’t just cement... it’s a polyurethane-based foam that’s injected as a liquid, travels through the ground, and then expands to seal water pathways. How far does it travel before settling? What pathways does it follow in fractured or karst ground?

The very scenario they told you was worth shutting down the entire natural gas debate is playing out in real-time, as we speak, in Western New York.

New York State is IN on the money grab that's occurring between green energy subsidies and credits and foreign corporations. A very small group of people are getting very rich while they hand over our prime farmland, wetlands, and grasslands to companies that originate far away from New York State.

The result? A mutilated river, aquifer, and bedrock that's also the exact site of a Seneca Nation burial ground.

ORES doesn't care. They answer to no one. And that's exactly how @KathyHochul likes it.

The warnings were scarier than reality.

NONE of his scary predictions have come true.

Taking the #PROTECTAct critical message down the I-90 corridor to the state capital – Albany. New York is currently the only state in the nation where judges are prohibited from considering public safety when deciding whether a criminal defendant should be held before trial. Support for the PROTECT Act…is support for public safety.

They have to show that they’re doing SOMETHING so they do stupid crap like this which in the end will cost the tax payers more to implement than we’ll save.🤦🏼‍♂️

Spot on @wxbywilliams This is a boondoggle in the highest degree. These busses don’t work and the citizens of this state don’t want to pay for them! One more unfunded mandate pushed by Hochul and the Democrats.

Doubling down on dumb. It's how this state rolls. I hope Jennifer can look into the special interest $$$ aspect because to ignore real-time results is sheer lunacy.

🚨 Here is the full 40 minutes of my crew and I exposing California fraud, Minnesota was big but California is even bigger... We uncovered over $170,000,000 in fraud as these fraudsters live in luxury with no consequences. Like it and share it, the fraud must STOP.

We ALL work way too hard and pay too much in taxes for this to be happening. These fraudsters have been able to defraud American taxpayers for years without any pushback from the public and politicians.

It is time to EXPOSE IT ALL and end America's fraud crisis.

A reminder: Raising costs on New Yorkers in a "climate bill" will not, in any way, change the global weather for the better. To think otherwise, is pure folly & shows no critical thinking skills, frankly. Please inform: @SenatorCooney @SenatorBrouk @HarryBBronson @sarahhartclark
