The money promised to Flat Creek Solar from @NYSERDA would have gone to pension pools in Canada, the Netherlands, and Australia.
This is why ORES rubber stamps final permits for solar and wind complexes 100% of the time. These foreign pension pools rely on the "predictable" backing of NYSERDA that they can tout to their investors as well.
We lose our farmland, wildlife, water sources, and history in the process. And New York State Energy Research and Development Authority dips into our electric bills through the delivery charge and SBC charge to amass billions of dollars it uses to court these foreign solar and wind developers.
I just wrote an article breaking this down further. It's important that every New Yorker understand why you can't afford your electric bill today. It's being used to socialize the failed rollout of solar and wind through ORES.

Thinking that country can run on breezes is worse than delusional
A two-megawatt windmill is made up of 260 tons of steel that required 300 tons of iron ore and 170 tons of coking coal, all mined, transported and produced by hydrocarbons.
They each consume 10'000 liters (more than 2600 gallons) of crude oil based lubricants per year.
When outdated, the wind turbines are being buried deep in forests, out of public view, due to the high costs associated with recycling them.
A windmill could spin until it falls apart and it will NEVER, EVER generate as much energy as it was used in building it.

If everyone starts loading their batteries at night when electricity is currently cheap, the night price will go up, and the day price down, a zero sum game caused by the lack of electric base load created by incompetent politicians believing in the fairy tale the world will go under if they don't limit CO2 emissions. Hence, more electricity generation is what's needed, and the only solution to energy shortage is Trump's drill, baby, drill policy.

Many New Yorkers have been telling New York State NO to Battery Energy Storage Systems in their neighborhoods. Legitimate concerns over emergency response and safety from lithium fires are being ignored in pursuit of impossible climate targets the state knows it cannot hit.

🚨 BREAKING: Secretary of State Marco Rubio just officially REJECTED the United Nations climate proposal for “net zero” emissions.
“The United States will not accept any environmental agreement that harms the interests of the American people. The International Maritime Organization’s proposal for a “Net-Zero Framework” is a tax on Americans levied by an unaccountable UN organization.”
BASED MARCO.

Wind projects are known to kill eagles, and climate extremists in the Biden admin still greenlit scores of these projects.
@Interior is enforcing the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act to ensure that our national bird is not sacrificed for unreliable wind facilities!

There's nothing "clean" or "green" about widespread loud industrial noise pollution.

TRUMP: And we are putting up wind. It does not work, aside from ruining our fields and valleys and killing all the birds. Being very weak and expensive, all made in China. I have never seen a wind farm in China. Why is that?
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
China is the global leader in wind energy, with the largest installed capacity of wind power worldwide, including extensive onshore and offshore wind farms.

With this one simple fix, the House can truly terminate solar and wind subsidies.
The fix just restores the Senate bill to the text that every Republican who voted for the bill agreed to—except for the one Senator who did a sneaky last-second deal to extend solar/wind.
Senate fails to terminate Green New Scam
The Senate bill *looks like* it has a 2027 "placed in service" cutoff for new solar/wind subsidies.
But one last-minute paragraph makes it worthless—because projects making a recoverable 5% investment in the next 12 months are exempt!
The idea of a 2027 "placed in service" cutoff was that new subsidies would actually end during the Trump administration.
But under the last-minute carveout, Big Green has 12 months to initiate as many subsidized projects as it wants using the insanely-easy-to-meet "construction" threshold. (All you need to do is commit 5% of expected project cost to buying re-sellable assets like solar panels.)
Once they declare "construction"—e.g., in July 2026—they'll have 4 years (e.g., July 2030) to "place in service." And then some of those projects, e.g., most wind projects, will get 10 years of subsidies.
So we'll still have wind subsidies on Donald Trump's 94th birthday!
Here's how much worse the Senate bill just got:
* Two days ago: "Placed in service" by 12-31-27—with new subsidized solar/wind projects stopping very quickly, and Trump being able to let subsidies truly end.
* Today: "Placed in service" by JULY 2030—with new subsidized solar/wind projects absolutely spamming the rid and ripping off taxpayers like never before, and Trump having no control over whether the subsidies end.
The current Senate bill is arguably worse than the original Senate Finance one. At least that bill decreased solar/wind subsidies starting in 2026 to 60%. The current bill just increased them to 100%.
The current bill is a solar/wind lobbyist's dream. It does not terminate the Green New Scam in any way, shape or form. It absolutely perpetuates it. And offensively so, I might add, by keeping the "placed in service" cutoff language so many people courageously fought for, then totally undoing it with a single last-minute paragraph that makes it worthless.
If the Senate wanted to extend the Green New Scam it should have said so, not insulted our intelligence by trying to bury the extension in one sneaky little paragraph.
PS Several Senators have already told me they didn't know about or understand this last-minute paragraph. If that's the case they should do whatever they can to fix the situation.

The House Freedom Caucus says it's time for Congress to STAND with President Trump in opposing the Green New Deal Scam!

END THE GREEN SCAM CREDITS FOR GOOD!
The Green New Scam is a noose around the necks of the American People. The Senate failed MIGHTILY at fulfilling President Trump's promise to repeal it and restore American energy dominance. I've introduced FOUR amendments to the One BBB to save the Taxpayer billions and make energy affordable and reliable again. The President was loud and clear last month, so why would the Senate do this?

6/ Midway during the six-week trial, the defendants admitted liability and switched the turbines off at night, between 10pm and 7am.
The only reliable noise control option is sufficient distance to prevent complaints. If too close, shutdown is the only remaining option. The defendant’s own expert confirmed this.
A 1 kilometer setback isn’t far enough.

WIND TURBINE NOISE POLLUTION
1/ Noise nuisance confirmed at 1 kilometer by judge.
The defendant’s own expert witness confirmed that the only order that would stop the nuisance would be a total shutdown of the turbines.

Massive lawsuit hits Empire Wind just as construction begins. Groups claim the NY & NJ wind farm threatens protected marine life—setting the stage for a fierce showdown. "The lawsuit lead is Save Long Beach Island, Inc. (Save LBI), joined by Save the East Coast, Protect Our Coast Long Island-New York, and the Miss Belmar whale watching company. According to Save LBI, the Empire Wind authorization for one species of dolphin is 30% a year and a total about like the entire population. This they say violates the MMPA “small take” standard and that is the central issue before the court."

Who Gets The Last Laugh On Offshore Wind?
Even if Williams does secure the necessary permits, legal battles with local residents and other stakeholders could easily extend the start of work beyond January 20, 2029, when Trump will leave office for the second and final time — peacefully this time, one hopes. It remains to be seen if the new Williams filing is the first step in a serious attempt to revive the Constitution project, or simply a placeholder. Some energy analysts (here’s one) note that Williams has other projects in its pipeline elsewhere around the country that promise greater rewards with less risk, raising the possibility that Constitution will simmer on the company’s back burner long past Trump’s second and final term in office.
In the meantime, the Empire offshore wind project is on track for completion in 2027, which is just around the corner.
So, does Governor Hochul get the last laugh? The short answer is yes — for now — if only on the basis of timeline.
