This is part of an add that ran in the latest TI Sun. The add was paid for by " Concerned Citizens for Open and Transparent Government" in opposition to Iberdrola's Horse Creek Wind Project
Did anyone see anything funny about the map of the wind project? Now it seems one would have to assume that the red outline on the map in this add is the outline of Iberdrola's proposed wind project.
There is no other explanation with the add that specifically explains what the red line means.
So the question is...since this red line boundary line appears to include parts of Grindstone and Wellesley Islands, what does that mean??? Are turbines proposed for these islands or is this just a line outlining the town boundaries? Why is there a red boundary line around them?
As I have stated many times I am opposed to industrial wind development in the 1000 Islands region. I think the Concerned Citizens group needs to clarify what this red boundary means ASAP! I doubt seriously turbines are proposed for these islands, but that is what the map seems to imply.
Not only Islands in the River, but the map includes Point Peninsula, Pillar Point and Point Salubrious, very populated lakefront areas.
ReplyDeleteAlso a large portion of the Perch River Game Preserve, a very extensive, significant wetlands and wildlife refuge, is included in this map. Is it at risk?
ReplyDeleteFYI
ReplyDeleteThe map shows the town boundaries of Orleans, Brownville, and Clayton. Grindstone is in Clayton.
Those are the towns directly involved in the Horse Creek project. The author of this post has mis-understood. This is not the Horse Creek wind overlay district.
According to another report I read and information in our community, the map includes the resident area of over 7000 people who will, or have already received the information in the mail.
My point is that this group should indicate that the red boundary is not the wind project outline.
ReplyDeleteThis leads to a big misinterpretation. Oh course if turbines were proposed for islands like Grindstone then you would probably see Save the River finally go ballistic and get off the fence and start really opposing wind development in the area instead of suggesting more bird studies.
Mr. Pundt,
ReplyDeleteSTR sent a comment to the PSC that proves their support of the Islands. Please go to the PSC and
look for the letter by the STR director. While you are there, look for any comment you might
have contributed in support of the Thousand Islands. I do not believe the Thousand Island citizens
are ready to fall for a backdoor support of the Bp project by encouragement to ignore Article 10
siting and do a challenge which would ensure a slam dunk for wind farms.
Thank you

ReplyDeleteSo apparently you are OK with the Art 10 process that removed your home rule rights as a community on the siting of industrial wind siting. If you follow Art 10 you are enabling and validating the process that is helping BP site their wind farm.
I did write a letter to the PSC. I wrote in objection to the State removing our home rule to truly decide what we want for our region and how arbitrary and contradictory Art 10 is with other NY laws providing the home rule power for us to zone our communities as we see fit.
You don't get it...the slam dunk is the state legislating a process that already removed you authority to zone on this issue and give BP a vast advantage.
You can't protect the 1000 Islands by writing a few letters to the process that already removed your rights to actually protect it.
Precisely what Bp would like everyone to think. oh, you backdoor Bp promoters are good. But we ain't buying your long distance subversion.
ReplyDelete2:46 backdoor BP promoters indeed! Even JLL(aka Cape Blogger) is promoting this project,although not so subtle as you accuse Pundt of. He outright encouraged DANC to petition the PSC to request an alternative transmission line from BP, in the WDT comment section.
ReplyDeleteImagine that-publicly encouraging the state to promote a transmission system for BP's industrial wind project in Cape Vincent. Are you "buying" into that?
What you claim you read by JLL is twisted in your weird perverted mind. But the CV blogs are not working directly with Bp by attempting to take the community on a fantasy mission which eases the problems of reality. The Cape blogs are providing actual information that can be used to guide thoughts not strong-arm a group into a deluded way of thinking....only. There is good journalism and then their is yellow journalism. You don't even have an original direction as you admit yourself to constantly having to resort to what you find on the CV blogs. Your backdoor work for Bp is obvious and pathetic. Example...making a post from an anonymous comment instead of a real source. Do you believe the dribble you write for Bp?
ReplyDeleteTalk about delusional hysteria or fantasy mission. To claim that this blog and it's administrator ( me) are somehow writing for BP is just plain NUTS.... and desperate!!!
ReplyDeleteThe State takes your rights away on the wind issue on behalf of BP so they can ramrod their project down the your throat, and you just cozy right up to that process...and them claim I am somehow siding with BP???? And you claim I am not with reality. So who is actually helping BP????
You truly are precious!!!! A moron... but still precious!!!
