If an Article X siting board comes to Cape Vincent, what will they do? Would they prempt our local industrial wind setback zoning laws so BP could put up most or all of their turbines. Would they only allow 20, 50, 100 ???
That is the mode of thinking we have gotten tunnel vision on. That A-10 will override our laws FOR development.
But what if they preemept our new industrial wind setback zoning in the other direction? What if they say that BP is "prohibited" from putting ANY turbins in CV or the area? That would be prempting our local laws too, saying that they weren't tough enough.
Wouldn't that be interesting. That is what NY Assemblywoman Addie Russel seemed to be indicating.
