Recently the Ontario Bays Initiative Inc.(OBI) group wrote a letter to the NY PSC. They are a non-profit conservation land trust group with a mission to protect land and water areas in Jefferson County near Lake Ontario. Sounds like a very laudable endeavor. Below is a quote from their letter. It is mind boggling what lengths these environmental groups will go to, to dance around the obvious, not be too controversial so they don’t lose donors, and remain politically correct in the face of an obvious environmetal disaster and tax scam.
“While we support the concept of renewable energy, we have serious concerns regarding the construction of industrial scale wind turbine projects in this area until more extensive studies are done, and more accurate statistics are gathered.”
I have some basic questions for the OBI group. After having wind developers in our midst for almost a decade and experiencing their insidious behavior, and how they have ripped our local communities apart, and after experiencing first hand the impacts a large invasive operating industrial wind complex right off the end of Lake Ontario on Wolfe Island, particulalrly the invasive impact on the viewshed and birds and bats...what the hell is it that you need more studies and statistics for?????
Do you really need more studies????
You mean to tell me after all this time with first hand experince with industrial wind they still don't get it and you need more extensive studies? You mean ten years of this industrial wind BS is not enough???? Good God, what is it going to take for these local environmental groups to take the obvious stand to protect our area??? And worse, implied in the letter is that some more studies and statistics could possibly make your concerns go away????? Seriously???? This is the trap that a process like Art X sets for you. Play nice and don't really state the painfully and overwhelmingly obvious!!!!
OK Ontario Bays time to step up with your political correctness to support "renewable concepts". Which "renewable concepts" DO YOU actually support and think would be compatable with our presious Golden Cresent environment and landscape near Lake Ontario and Cape Vincent?????
Maybe this industrial solar plant in Nevada where square miles of the endangered desert tortoise and other fragile desert habitat were literally scraped away and then covered with solar panels, industrial structures, and power lines!!! Let's see, doesn't CV and the land in Jefferson County have numerous field nesting bird species. Oh well Bye Bye!!! Oh yes and just a friendly green renewable reminder to OBI. BP's solar complex on Long Island cut down 42.000 trees!!!!
Note the corner of the one solar array where they have not put up panels yet. Scraped flat!!!
How about this wind farm near Palm Springs California which is only one of thousands of wind turbines that blight the land and have many old dead wind turbines which haven’t been removed.
Not to mention that the hundereds upon hundreds of red lights and strobes are a delightfull
"renewable concept" at night!!!
So OK Ontario Bays...are these the "renewable concepts" you support...so which of these nice little green "renewable concepts" is it you are supporting for Cape Vincent and the land near Lake Ontario so you remain not too controversial and politically correct??!! I'm sure political correctness "playing nice" was used in the examples above too, and look what it bought them. Big invasive destructive mostly unreliable tax scam industrial "renewable concepts."
Keeping in mind of the three that only the geothermal plant is a reliable, dispatchable, 24/7 source of electric energy.
Visit some of these places and you won't need anymore damn studies and statistics to make up your mind!
