Governor Kathy Hochul has announced that the New York State Office of Renewable Energy Siting (ORES) issued a final siting permit for Brookside Solar to develop, design, construct, operate, maintain and decommission a 100 MW solar energy facility in Franklin County.
“New York is taking yet another step forward in building a clean economy,” says Hochul. “By issuing this final siting permit, we’re creating jobs, providing New York families and businesses with clean and sustainable energy, and building a better future for generations of New Yorkers to come.”
The announcement marks the 15th major renewable energy facility permit issued by ORES since 2021. In total, these 15 permits represent over 2.3 GW.
Brookside Solar is expected to provide over $12.7 million in the first 20 years to the county, towns and school districts in the form of payment-in-lieu of taxes and host community agreements to invest in infrastructure, additional services and resources for residents in the communities hosting the facility.
Once completed, this solar facility is expected to generate enough clean energy to power over 16,500 homes and reduce carbon emissions by over 131,000 metric tons, says ORES.

Social democracies are nations in which the tax base provides everyone with healthcare and education, and where the richest and most powerful people are not free to ruin the environment.
I run into someone from one of these counties a couple of times a month, and I like to ask why their people are consistently at the top of the World Happiness Rankings. The normal response is always some variant of the following:
It’s hard to be happy living in a society that is indifferent to the suffering of others. It’s part of the very nature of human beings to care about one another.
Something else I notice about these places is that very few people are religious. Sweden, e.g., is about 80% atheist.
That means no childish tribalism, no ridiculous dogmas, no worries about eternal damnation, etc.

There are so many tragic aspects to life in today’s United States that it’s hard to name them all.
For my money, one of the saddest elements to the American zeitgeist is its glorification of ignorance.
Up until recently, if you wanted to know what science believes about anthropology, climate change, or particle physics, you asked a scientist in the relevant discipline, who not only has a college degree, but normally a ton of education on top of that.
Now, you ask a congressional Republican, preferably, an evangelical Christian.
