All of the original files of the environmental impacts and surveys, water impacts, endangered species, and archaeological evidence are being withheld from the public at this address in Albany. Per the ORES website, they are supposed to be accessible...

I went to the town clerk, the county clerk, the county planning office, the town librarian, and filed a FOIL request with the DEC. I also called the DEC 4 times today. Nowhere has been able to produce un-redacted files. I was tipped off that the g...

What this means: The window for filing for party status at Fort Edward Solar had passed by the time I registered my nonprofit. However, based on the environmental, water, soil, and archaeological information they have redacted, based on concealment...

When I saw this map, my jaw dropped. How could this be? How could THIS MANY environmental designations be ignored? How could the state turn the other way when its very own DEC-protected grasslands and endangered species are under fire? These solar ...

At this point, the amount of drivers who have written to me to tell me what they've been paid to quietly do at these solar and wind "farms" deserves its own separate post. I'll be covering all of it here. I truly am just getting started. I will lea...

We're just all a bunch of serfs to these people. They hold these meetings, pretending public sentiment matters. The solar corporation was already issued a permit before the hearing. Nothing we said at that meeting mattered. This is what happens whe...

The scientists have been completely cut out of the conversation. It's New York State + a Canadian corporation calling all the shots. The corporation was already given a prelim permit before they even held a public hearing. They don't care what we h...

I'll just state this right away for any confusion: I have no problem with solar itself. I own my own personal solar panel! I think a personal arrangement is an amazing off-grid alternative. That's not what this post is remotely about. This is not co...

I'm learning a lot over here as part of my 'unconventional ways to buy land' series I'm posting to on my substack every week! There are nonprofits whose SOLE MISSION is to ensure farmland stays… farmland! That's the entire point of their nonprofit. ...

This is no hate to the USDA. The initial meetings where they went over my land and soil with me were great. And free! And I was never pressured to sign anything. And didn't. But I did feel they waited to share all the fine print until the end. It g...

Both the law firm and ORES are making the case to the executive director that my nonprofit and the GBT should not be given party status… as well as strike down the possibility of any future hearings. They are also shutting down the science submitted ...

I'm from Upstate NY, so I'm used to this weather. But that doesn't mean the animals are! For temps like these, rabbits need to come inside. If you want chickens in this area, you need to get a cold hardy breed unless you plan to heat their coop. We...

It's a beautiful day to serve an appeal to the State of New York! And I wasn't the only one! My nonprofit, American Land Rescue Fund, and the grassland bird nonprofit present here both filed appeals with the DPS. Appeals are required if further li...

You are looking at hundreds of pages of redacted information and non disclosure requests for Fort Edward Solar. Everything from the 'take rate' of how many endangered animals are going to perish, to the threatened and endangered species present, to ...

If the DEC is going to storm homes to put down illegal pets in front of the homeowner… where are they now that a 1,800-acre sensitive grassland that they PERSONALLY designated is going to be destroyed? Do the rules no longer apply when a solar corpo...

No, my 1-year-old meter is not nearing the end of its life. It's simply nearing the end of its usefulness to National Grid that's forcibly installing smart meters while homeowners aren't home. We have been told we are allowed to keep our current me...

Yes I know the electric company owns the meter. That's not the point of this video. The point is twofold. 1) the electric (monopoly in this case) company is conveniently "forgetting" those of us who elected to legally opt out of this new meter and ...

My farm and family is in Saratoga Today for their Christmas issue as of this morning. We had a great time working with the magazine and adore the photos they took. As I always tell people that I meet in person... I never sought out this big "solar ...
