ACCIONA ~ FEIS ~ An Environmental Crime?~ Indiana Bat Post Construction Plan ~ Count The Dead Carcasses

Why should we concerned about bats in Cape Vincent?

Evidence of white nose syndrome has appeared in bats throughout the Northeast and is now being found as far south as Virginia, a fact that has scientists extremely worried. The Indiana Brown bat is virtually on the brink of extinction. As we decimate other bat populations with wind turbines there are no guarantees what the consequences will be.

In January 2009 the DEC region 6 Watertown wrote a letter to Tom Reinbeck, then Cape Vincent town supervisor .This letter expressed concern about two endangered species , and the impact that Acciona’s industrial wind project would have on these species specifically the Indiana brown bat and the Blanding turtle.
I have included the letter in this post and the YouTube
video where you can observe ~ Mr. Edsall Cape Vincent Planning Board Chairman address the concerns that the DEC region 6 has about the endangered species in Cape Vincent ,including the Indiana Brown Bat~
Edsall says that the DEC region 6 of Watertown ~they have no Idea what is going on in the world ~ these people here are like ~ the Janitor telling a teacher what curriculum to use.
In the video someone is heard saying Acciona is working with someone from Albany and not region 6 ~ who would that Albany person be PETE GRANNIS?? In 2008 Commissioner of the DEC ~ Grannis ruled that the DEC would be lead agency in the Galloo Island wind complex ~ Grannis came out and openly endorsed Kessel's Great lakes offshore Wind ~ GLOW scheme ~ Galloo Island is site for a proposed industrial wind complex. Galloo Island is also a neighbor to Little Galloo Island, a bird sanctuary, another inappropriate place for an industrial wind complex! The only thing about wind power that I find amazing is how easy it is for these massive projects to get approved. Maybe that is where the "GREEN" becomes the driving issue. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Of course Acciona mentions that they will be doing post construction studies ,this means that they count dead birds and bats. Will counting dead bird and bat carcasses protect endangered species? Will counting dead carcasses prevent other species from becoming endangered? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ These projects are not just flawed but downright insane for our community ,and yet this sorry saga in Cape Vincents history moves on. MR. EDSALL Cape Vincent could use a good janitor right now! We need someone to clean up this disgusting , slimy mess. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *** DEC Region 6 ~ letter to Supervisor T.
