Somerset, NY Board Officially Opposes Wind Project - Geee Imagine That!!!

The Somerset, NY town board puts Albany on notice they will do everything possible to oppose the Lighthouse wind project proposed for their town.

Gee whiz ... can you imagine that???     You can read about it at the Wind Watch link below.

They passed an official resolution 4-1 to oppose the project and fight it.

 Unlike the Hirschey Cape Vincent town board who refused to do anything like this with BP, and instead decided to write warm and fuzzy letters to the NYPSC to placate and appease the state Art. 10 process.

I went before the CV town board and twice asked them to pass a resolution in support of the county, and one time even had the resolution written up for them to consider.  since the Jefferson County legislature had passed a unanimous resolution to oppose Art. 10.  It would also be at a time when Hirschey had a complete majority on the board of 5-0.  But they absolutely refused.

This situation in Somerset is going to be  real interesting to watch.  

If you look in the comment section of a previous post you will see a comment by a person claiming to have worked in the wind industry.  In a discussion about the Art. 10 process he said:

 "It is not a process they want to go through if there is even a hint of "bad information" being entered into the public record."

However, as you will read in the Somerset case it appears the developer has no qualms about moving forward with there project in the Art. 10 process despite the fact the majority of the community is against it, and an official resolution is "on the record" in opposition.
