The federal government is coming to New York State next week for four days.

The Small Business Administration (@SBAgov) will be holding hearings for small business owners, farmers, and homeowners to come and share what you've experienced living in New York State.

If a solar complex, wind complex, ORES in general, or battery energy storage system (BESS) has ruined, or will ruin, your home value, business, or farm, this is the perfect time to come out and air your grievances.

The SBA wants to hear it all and will take back what they learn to DC.

Registry is free (you can use the QR codes in each photo below).

Here is the schedule:

Monday, September 14, 2026 — Peekskill, NY
9:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.

Upstate NY is littered with Chinese-made solar panels, enclosed by perimeter fencing that shuts out wildlife while bringing all surrounding property values down.

The solar and wind installation companies grabbed their green energy subsidies and credits. You will never see a single person "staffed" at these complexes. They don't create jobs... in fact, they destroy local economies. Retail, tourism, agriculture, history, and viewsheds are all ruined while we continue to hand our best farmland and designated habitats to corporations (most of which are foreign) that lock the land into 35+ year leases.

The leases will outlive the landowners. The leases will also outlive the panel lifespans.

Why do they need our land for almost four-decades? This is a question everyone should start asking themselves.

We're only going to get one chance to defend New York State's land. The wildlife is begging us to do so before it's too late.

@OldHollowTree My son lost his first this week! I had to go to 5 banks to find one that had the golden $1 Sacagawea coins, I feel like a crumpled dollar bill is insufficient for the occasion.

Maybe America would have more kids if every single law and legal institution in this country wasn’t designed to protect the old at the expense of the young

@DallasAptGP great idea! I’d buy if they can hold walnuts too. even more profitable per lb than acorns

@ACC_National stunning photographs, who do they belong to? Are high res images available?

[Ivan Hanson @_ijhanson]

@ErikBootsma a pedestal without a statue, very appropriate. Why does the relief portray two babies?

[Ivan Hanson @_ijhanson]

haven’t played in 20 years, let’s see if anything stuck.

@brantleynow @nealjclark1 what is the source of this excerpt?

[Ivan Hanson @_ijhanson]

@JSlaughterEsq ahh so a machine decision to put certain articles in front of viewers, not reader choice? That is disconcerting.

@MichaelTG09 what a special place to receive the sacrament!

@MrlwDesigns ahh yes, I see this sentiment echoed often. From my perspective it can be very technically difficult or time consuming at the start to build the model as you describe. I’m newer to the documentation part of modeling but that is my greatest hangup

[Ivan Hanson @_ijhanson]

@MrlwDesigns what’s the alternative?

[Ivan Hanson @_ijhanson]

It’s easy to find things to complain about living in the city. It’s important to enjoy and cherish the treasures as well. There is no doubt that Syracuse Parks knew what they were doing when they created Elmwood, a true peaceful gem.
