BP Admitts to Going For the Article X Siting Process

        Take a good long look at this picture.  If BP gets their way you can kiss all his beauty goodbye.

                          A 285 or more megawatt wind farm? See what that equates to below.

Well…with their letter to the NY PSC BP has finally admitted they are going to take the Article X route. And now the truth is out that the project could be upwards of 285 megawatts.  Whatever the hell upwards means.

So wait a minute…where is that “compromise” with the CV  community the scumbag liars at BP where talking about in the WDT a few months ago?  Anybody want to still keep talking compromise while Chandler attempts to shove 500 ft turbines up our backside using Article X ?

So let’s see how that plays out in megawatts and turbine numbers using 285 MW.

1.5 MW turbines  = 190 turbines

1.6 MW turbines  =  178 turbines

2 MW turbines  =  142 turbines

2.3 MW like Wolfe Is. = 123 turbines

The giant 3MW turbines  = 95 turbines

Just imagine Cape Vincent being the host to almost 100  500 + ft giant turbines! But hey just remember the new zoning attorney says he can’t defend the view.  Yeah…no kidding!!!   Well with turbines at  500 ft every town around for miles better get a damn good lawyer to protect themselves, their property values and their economy.

I keep hearing how the wind industry is dead.  I keep hearing that the subsidies are all going away, and this will kill wind development.  Well it appears that BP knows something we don’t as they keep striding forward with their CV project and it just keeps getting more absurd by the day. Now they are ready to committ $300 million.  BP and the wind industry and Cuomo and all the other green nut cases want CV so bad they can taste it, and they are going to do whatever it take to get it.  And what are we doing...we are writting letters.  YIKES!!!!

By the time BP and Article X get done with us in CV  you are going to wonder what the hell happened and why we  spent so much time dicking around with nonsense wind laws, and instead should have taken a real aggressive political stand against this entire wind and Article X scam instead of writing these letters to the PSC begging for mercy. Every letter that goes to the PSC is just tacit approval of the entire  process.  I’m still waiting for our board and the town boards around us to pass outright resolutions opposing the entire Article X legislation.  Why hasn’t that happened? 

Why aren’t letters being written saying the entire Article X legislation is a DISASTER and should be REPEALED.  Why are we working WITH the Article X process that is going to take away our ability of self determination for our futures.  Where are those letters instead of this nonsense of begging for mercy from a system that is entirely designed to support the green wind agenda in NYS. 

When are some of you going to wake up that our community is under an outright attack and onslaught.  Yet we are pissing an moaning by writing letters over who should have the burden of proof on our zoning laws, and we are writing those letters to a system that is designed to enhance the effectiveness of BP's attack on our community and our rights!!!
