I have followed Alexandra Fasulo online for some time and she has been a fierce advocate for regulation change in NYS. ORES as a permitting body looks to be out of control.
I don’t want this to be litigated here, but this subject does deserve more attention from the birding community.

Thanks for posting this. This is so true. I have seen acres and acres of FOREST chopped down for solar farms in Broome County. In one instance it led to excessive runoff into a local wildlife preserve and has toppled trees and led to siltation of the stream below. It has ruined the upper part of this park with dying trees. Grassland birds are in the steepest decline in our state and taking precious grasslands away for solar farms is a travesty! Putting wind turbines up along a major raptor and golden eagle migration pathway in eastern Broome Co went unopposed except for the Delaware-Otsego Audubon. But our DEC, just ignored them. We as birders should be opposing this destruction of our habitats just like when they tried to pass fracking! Where is the same level of opposition? I don't understand why this hasn't been met with more resistance by birders.
