The solar industry has concluded they have a "PR problem" this week.

It turns out forcing solar complexes into rural communities isn't exactly popular with Americans. Who could have guessed it?

As the solar salesmen said: "We have a problem with local pushback and rural groups organizing too effectively."

They're proposing a fee for every solar panel that would pool money into a "PR fund." A board of renewable energy salesmen would use that money to invest in PR campaigns (brainwashing campaigns) designed to change public sentiment.

Instead of admitting siting these complexes against the will of everyone in an American town might not be the best way to go about this... they'd rather raise even more money to force it on you.

If you think any of this is about saving the environment, you need to go for a very long walk today.

One thing is for certain: covering the evils of the global solar industry on social media has these executives mad. Keep commenting, sharing, and documenting your own experience around these ecological detention centers.

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.

Time to saddle up and ride North. Thank you @johnrich for helping us here in Upstate NY. We’ll never forget it!

[Alex Fasulo @alex_fasulo]

@epaleezeldin Thank you @epaleezeldin! We are being held hostage by the Office of Renewable Energy Siting. They destroyed our home rule. We need help getting it back.

[Alex Fasulo @alex_fasulo]

You heard the man! @johnrich is putting his boots on the ground here in Upstate NY soon. A fight for the ages is brewing.

Thank you from all of us here in Upstate NY, John. We need help.

WSP Global, who did environmental "technical work and review" for Fort Edward Solar, shares something in common with Boralex, the foreign Canadian corporation poised to destroy one of the last grasslands of its kind throughout the entire Northeast.

Boralex hired WSP to do this environmental consulting work. Not shockingly, WSP concluded nothing "substantial" would happen to the Fort Edward Grasslands. My nonprofit hired an independent assessment from Hudsonia to expose the purposely downplayed science released by WSP.

Do you know why that is?

Turns out the WSP Global President, Marie-Claude Dumas, sits on the Boralex Board of Directors.

Isn't that funny? I'd call that a conflict of interest, wouldn't you?

In a way, this is how corporations have always behaved if there are no checks or balances placed on them. That's where the Office of Renewable Energy Siting (ORES) on behalf of NY is supposed to step in. ORES should have inserted itself to tell Boralex that it's an extreme conflict of interest to have one of its board members completing the environmental review for a project it stands to make millions off of.

But ORES didn't do that. Why? ORES is a shadow agency, whose staff remain unnamed and shuffled around between the @NYSDEC, @NYSDPS, and @KathyHochul’s office from the FOILs we've filed. You can't call, email, or set up an appointment with them. They are captured by the industry they are supposed to regulate, with the very foreign solar corporations in question being the ones at the "drawing table" back in 2019 that lobbied for the 2019 Climate Act.

This is how New York State opened up one of its most imperiled habitats to development. This is how you buy off the entire NYS Department of Environmental Conservation to look the other way.

It starts with a Marie-Claude Dumas serving the interests of Boralex while being given total discretion over our American environment.

And it's all on purpose.

This is not about saving the environment at all. These foreign countries will pillage and plunder our ecological distinctions into oblivion if these people are not named, sued, and arrested.

[Alex Fasulo @alex_fasulo]

Thank you to @epaleezeldin for calling out what’s happened to our home rule at the hands of the NY Office of Renewable Energy Siting.

It’s like a scene out of the Hunger Games. They’re pillaging our Upstate NY rural communities to appease the bureaucrats in Albany and NYC.

We need help!

In case our prime farmland, grassland habitat, and wetlands weren't enough for foreign solar developers, now NYS politicians want to open up our reservoirs, lakes, and canals to floating solar panels.

Senate/Assembly bill S4571B/A6577B creates a @NYSERDA "floating solar incentive and education program" that would provide access to financing resources for floating solar development.

The bill language is intentionally drafted to be very broad. We've seen this with other bills aimed at expanding solar and wind destruction across New York State, usually introduced by @RachelMayNY or @SenatorHarckham.

The bill includes opening up our lakes to floating solar and does NOT contain Adirondack-specific exclusions. The bill itself also does not establish a size cap for projects.

Most importantly, it places financing assistance through NYSERDA.

Do you know what that means?

It means this floating solar grant program will be funded by us. It will be funded by the delivery charge on your electric bill that Upstate New Yorkers already can't afford right now.

As for the microplastics that are deposited below the solar panels, glass shards after a single hail storm/ice storm/tornado/blizzard, and the heavy metals like cadmium, lead, zinc, and silver that leach off the panels... do you want to drink water from a reservoir that sits below this kind of environmental destruction?

Potato growing associations nationwide will NOT grow potatoes on farmland that sat below the panels. Imagine putting these panels ABOVE your drinking water?

And as always, what about the animals? The aquatic species that ask for nothing but to be left alone by humans determined to play God?

Panels floating over water creates shade below them. This reduces growth of aquatic plants and algae production beneath the Chinese-made panels. This then alters the food web that supports insects, zooplankton, and eventually fish.

In case the microplastics, glass shards, heavy metals, or PFAS don't kill the fish first, the shaded, cooled, and altered food web will kill them next.

Do you get it yet? These climate extremists will destroy our environment long before we're "carbon neutral" if we don't all do something about this.

Elle Patterson said she was promised a full scholarship to play volleyball at SJSU. She says she never got a penny of it, while a trans athlete took her spot, and ended up having to unexpectedly pay for a whole year's worth of college bills.

On this day in 1944, allied troops landed on the heavily-fortified beaches of Normandy. We will never forget the sacrifice and service of those brave soldiers. 🇺🇸

REFS FOR THE WIN...
To compare the Liberty to what the @nyknicks have done this season is an insult to the Knicks. The Knicks have earned all of their victorys. The refs handed this game back to the liberty in a blatant fashion.
The head official should be fired.

@WNBA @coinbase The officiating in this game is so one sided against the @fever. Terrible...

🇺🇸 On June 6, 1944, Allied forces stormed the beaches of Normandy in the largest amphibious invasion in history. Carried into battle were some of the most iconic military firearms ever produced, including the M1 Garand, M1 Carbine, Lee-Enfield, Mauser rifles, and more.

Today, collectors have the opportunity to own a tangible piece of that history. Explore a curated selection of World War II firearms from the nations and soldiers who shaped the outcome of the war.

A massive AI data centre is being planned next to Auchtertool village in Fife, Scotland. The height of six double decker buses and length of 100 football pitches. An estimated 20% of Scotland’s energy will be consumed by this. Imagine if this was being built next to your house?

82 years ago today, Allied forces landed on the beaches of Normandy in one of the most consequential military operations in history.
