ORES is Hochul's personal ecological Gestapo. The whole situation has become a crisis in places like Greene County. The very idea that deforestation to build industrial scale solar complexes to battle a climate change that's due to the loss of such places is as idiotic as it sounds. Solar belongs on roof tops, above parking lots, strip malls and in the numerous bleak industrial zones of which NY State ALREADY HAS in mass abundance! This is not an argument, it's fact. Commonsense. Yet here we are. The only winners in this situation are the companies (many foreign owned to boot).

Vanishing wilderness, wetlands, habitat, farmland, the very character & soul of small towns & rural communities.... noise & glare pollution, water contamination & run-off, depreciating home values, vanishing tourism along with the businesses that rely on seasonal tourism, quality of life, the very reason people chose to live in these counties, all gone. We have all become voiceless. ORES & the corporations are now the kings of our land. This has become a war. We now need entities that can protect us from the people elected to protect us.
