Removing local control & input from large-scale energy projects is predictably causing tension & mixed emotions in communities across NY Few want these large projects popping up in their backyards And, concerns continue to grow about the loss of important agricultural land
Large solar projects are dividing families and 'pitting neighbor against neighbor' across upstate New York. https://t.co/fyfCumw55a via @TimesUnion

A lot of folks who were screaming "End the Shutdown!" now seem pretty upset the shutdown is ending. A cynical person might say they weren't being honest. https://t.co/LPzhWMjeUB

The deal, negotiated by a group of Democrats and GOP leaders, funds the government through Jan. 30. If it passes, it still needs to clear the House, which will likely take days.

When we admit that absentee ballots remain ‘the largest source of potential voter fraud,’ we don’t undermine voters—we strengthen democracy. Election integrity should never come at the cost of convenience. https://t.co/GWHq0y2hxS

Latest reports from the NYISO should be read with serious concerns about the potentially dangerous impact the state’s energy policy will have on our energy grid’s reliability moving forward. While investment in nuclear energy is positive, more needs to be done.
