How did we get here? How did we get to a place where New York State just issued a final permit for a designated and ecologically sensitive habitat that our own state's NYS Department of Environmental Conservation has admitted houses 10 of the 11 TOP grassland species of concern? It's a masterful play in the art of usurping power from the public and storing it inside shadow bureaucratic bodies and "clean energy" propaganda that's designed to benefit foreign corporations. Here is the timeline of how New York State was able to pull off siting Fort Edward Solar while breaking its own laws in front of the public: Step 1: the Climate Act was passed in 2019 justifying mass environmental devastation in the name of "saving the climate" Step 2: ORES was shoved through in a budget bill April 2020 while everyone sheltered at home, creating a shadow agency no one voted for Step 3: Kathy Hochul stacked the DEC (and APA) with renewable energy salesmen and women, installing Amanda Lefton as the DEC Commissioner to stand down in the face of renewable destruction Step 4: ORES defers all decision-making to foreign renewable developers, including allowing them to buy and redact the environmental "assessments" Step 5: ORES takes in a $1,000 fee/MW for each complex, directly profiting from the size/number of projects it sites Step 6: ORES agrees to issue a final permit to the foreign renewable developers 100% of the time, ensuring they recoup their investments and are able to exchange/sell the permit as many times as they want for 7-years thereafter Step 7: The solar industrial complex lobbies NYS politicians like Senator Pete Harckham, Michelle Hinchey, and NYS Senator Rachel May to push through environmentally destructive legislation while pretending they care about the environment Step 8: NYS distributes Environmental Protection Fund (EPF) money to conservation easement nonprofits and environmental advocacy nonprofits with strings attached: "support climate change infrastructure and messaging" Step 9: Nonprofits like the Grassland Bird Trust withdrew their Appeal one-week before the Fort Edward Solar final permit to receive mitigation money from Boralex, effectively dismantling any perceived "opposition" to big solar and wind Step 10: Solar conglomerates infiltrate town boards and leadership, paying off elected officials while pressuring landowners at their physicals doorsteps and handing out 40+ page contracts that are impossible to decipher without a law firm Step 11: Solar conglomerates are actively funding political candidates at the local level in NYS to displace Upstate NYers that have taken public stands against solar complexes And there you have it. After the 8-month journey I have been on, this is the timeline. These are the steps. This is the playbook. If you still believe any of this is for the environment, you and I have nothing in common. This is coming for every single town and county in New York State and beyond. It stops with Fort Edward.
