Both infuriating and heartbreaking. This has not only become a crisis, it's starting to feel like a war. The Hochul administration's endgame seems to be the complete obliteration of our counties. We have all become voiceless. ORES is basically Hochul's personal ecological Gestapo. Albany's allegiance lies solely with solar corporations (many foreign owned). Who is left to protect us from these monsters? Our remaining wilderness, habitat, farmland, wetlands, the very character and soul of our communities are all on the line. Once they are gone there will be no turning back the clock. Noise & glare pollution, run-off and water contamination, building up to property lines, property depreciation, dwindling tourism, small businesses that depend on seasonal tourism closing, the people that bring money into counties leaving.... my point is, everyone is affected in some way for the worst. Who wins? The corporations and everyone they payoff in Albany, the PSC and so on.

Deforestation to erect industrial scale solar complexes to battle a climate change that's due to the lack of these places is as idiotic as it sounds. Solar belongs on rooftops, above parking lots, strip malls, and in the numerous bleak industrial zones that NY State ALREADY HAS in mass abundance! This is not an argument. It's fact. This whole land grab, scorched earth policy hammering the Catskills, Adirondacks and other parts of greater NY is solely about greed & profit. The Hochul administration has proven to be a false flag, no different than
