Beyond Your Property Values - The Wider Impact of the Galloo Island Wind Development!

As the proposal for the Gallo Island wind project move forward in the Art.10 siting process, many are worried about their property values along Lake Ontario shorelines.  As they should be.

However, there is property we all essentially own that will be heavily impacted as well.  I refer here to at least a couple of NYS parks like Wescott Beach,  and particularly the natural gem of Robert Wehle State Park on Stony Point which will have a front row seat to this Galloo wind disaster.

Apparently the town of Hounsfield officials see no problem with this huge negative visual impact that will be forced on residents and visitors along Eastern Lake Ontario shores. Perhaps the financial promises from the developer have anesthetized their brains on this matter.

Below are just a few examples of some  treasured places that will be visually sacrificed if the Galloo project is approved.

 In my opinion you have to be brain dead to sacrifice this beauty to absurd wind development that does nothing to provide any reliable power or solve our climate issues.

Environmental insanity at it's best, and Jefferson County had better step up to stop this idiocy since so much is at stake!!!

Also the Jefferson County Legislature previously passed a unanimous resolution opposing the very same Art. 10 siting process that will take place regarding Galloo Island wind development.

      NOW ... would be the time to do something about it before this Jefferson County beauty
         is simply wasted!!!  And I am not talking about just writing a few letters to the NYPSC!!!

       Oh yes...and hopefully the County won't approve a PILOT tax break to expidite the sacrifice of
        our treasured natural beauty!

                 Wild Lake Shores - Robert Wehle State Park - Henderson. NY.  This place is a true
                 NNY treasure, and it will suffer tremedous impacts since it looks out directly toward
                Galloo Island.  Stony Island is inbetween, but will not mitigate 600 ft. turbines with
                 moving blades and annoying red flashing lights.
