Governor Cuomo ~
What is good enough for downstate
is good enough for us.

There is a petition being circulated concerning Governor Cuomo’s unfair Renewable energy policy. The petition describes how Governor Cuomo applies a double standard when it comes to Upstate versus Downstate.

To minimize adverse visual impacts from offshore wind development, Cuomo promised wealthy long Island beachfront residents that wind turbines would be so far offshore that, “Not even Superman standing on Montauk Point could see these wind farms .”

But for Jefferson County and other upstate communities Cuomo made no such promise to protect our beautiful Lake Ontario coastline .This is unjust, unethical and just plain wrong.

Governor Andrew Cuomo’s renewable energy policy has to be fair and equal for all - including working upstate middle class residents.

The short  video clip below shows Cuomo giving his Superman speech during his state of the state address Jan.10,2017.

Video transcript: I'm calling on LIPA to approve a 90-Megawatt wind farm enough power to support 50,000 homes. They will not be visible from the beach they will be 30 miles southeast of Montauk.
Not even Superman standing on Montauk point could see these windfarms.

 April 11, 2018

Apex says that energy from Lighthouse Wind could power over 53,000 average New York homes.  That figure sounds impressive until you realize that a basic internet search will reveal that its power would not be enough to operate the billboards of Times Square at peak usage. Those billboards are lit 24 hours per day and are among structures in an area that encompasses only about one half mile of...

 There is a war being fought in Northern Niagara and Orleans Counties by the Towns of Yates and Somerset. A war for the very essence of our towns and quality of life. Why?

The State of New York, via New York State Public Service Law titled Article 10, has taken home rule from these towns and is attempting to allow APEX Clean Energy to force a 201-megawatt industrial wind turbine factory on the unwilling constituents of these towns.

Town takes aim at wind turbines


 Indiana: Last week, Darlington Town Council members voted to enact an ordinance intended to reduce the noise from a nearby proposed wind turbine project.

The ordinance reaches beyond the town’s borders, but council members believe they can use an Indiana law intended to protect citizens from health hazards to do so.
