Gov. Andrew Cuomo\u2019s plans for siting renewable energy facilities, such as solar farms and windmills, are meeting righteous resistance from upstate locals.<\/p>\n

The intrusive facilities are key to the gov\u2019s $26 billion \u201cclean energy, clean economy\u201d initiative, which Cuomo pretends will boost New York\u2019s post-COVID-19 economy.<\/p>\n

The pressure is on his administration to replace the 200 megawatts of clean energy lost when the Indian Point nuclear plant \u2014 which accounted for 30 percent of the state\u2019s carbon-free power production \u2014 shut down for good in April after years of harassment by the governor as he pandered to Westchester activists\u2019 overwrought fears.<\/p>\n

The wind and solar plants\u2019 output will cost a lot <\/em>more per kilowatt-hour of generation, though Cuomo means to disguise that fact as best he can. But he can\u2019t hide the fact that 200-plus-acre fields of solar panels are unsightly, nor that huge wind farms kill a lot of birds.<\/p>\n

So Cuomo got the Legislature to pass a law that lets him override local objections in siting his alternative-energy facilities, power he\u2019s used to stick it to areas that don\u2019t vote for him anyway. <\/p>\n

Local officials, ecology-minded groups and bird-watchers in western and northern NY have gone to court over the state\u2019s new fast-track system<\/a> that gives a special panel \u2014 the Office of Renewable Energy Siting \u2014 the power to force plants on communities. It can even overrule local laws on noise and land use.<\/p>\n

This governor loves to dictate and hates having to deal with democratic objections to his elaborate plans \u2014 and he\u2019s only growing more arrogant late in his third term. God save New York\u2019s freedoms if he somehow survives his endless scandals and wins yet a fourth term next year.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
