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.

Sad that it came to this, but not nearly as sad as I would if he gets away with all this criminality, and the rest of the world writes us of as avid supporters of crime and apathetic to rule of law.

JD Vance and His Certainty Re: God’s Work
At left we see illustrated the core problem with the world’s theistic religions, i.e., that adherents are so certain of the rightness of their beliefs that they have no problem destroying the world.
FWIW, I have a friend who takes this even further: he is actively rooting for the apocalypse, and the prospect that all believers in God’s son Jesus will be raptured up to heaven to sit at the right hand of God.
He knows that I don’t believe any of this, but he remains confident that I’ll come around. As he told me, “God melts even the hardest of hearts.” He thinks I’m doing the devil’s work with my compassion for others and the effort I put out to achieve a peaceful and sustainable civilization.
We’d be living in tough times even without these fanatics, but religious dogma, especially of this sort, makes it all that much more difficult.

The U.S. Post-Trump
We read a great deal about people who think that repairing the damage caused by Trump is going to be quick and easy.
Others are not nearly so sanguine, pointing out that many nations have gone to great lengths to create new trade relationships in their effort to cut the United States off without a penny.
Another question is how the people in other countries have come to regard Americans, as people of extremely low moral character–as crackpots, as racists, as gullible morons, as people incapable of critical thinking. That’s not going to change overnight, if it changes at all.
