Elon Musk has become the first trillionaire in history.

DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin on Mamdani: "He and I don't get along. It's shameful. And hopefully people in New York will wise up and get a true leader in there in a few years."

Horseshoe Solar, located in Rush and Caledonia, New York, where Invenergy's third-party contractors punctured their aquifer this past winter, contains a significant amount of prime farmland. In fact, our state's own Department of Ag + Markets went on the record in 2019 with being "concerned with the amount of prime farmland" being considered in this project. Below you can read quotes directly from the Department of Public Service docket that were filed as a response to Invenergy's Preliminary Scoping statement. Particularly interesting is this quote, which everyone needs to read today: "Notably absent are any indication that other suitable sites were evaluated. A majority of the land is comprised of farmland and constitutes some of the most productive agricultural land in both counties. The Department recommends other alternative sites, which are not flat, productive, well-drained farmland comprised of Prime Farmland soil or Farmland of Statewide Importance." That same year, the 2019 Climate Act was passed, creating a solar panel and wind turbine religion that started to trump all other agencies in our state. One year later, ORES was created inside a budget bill. The state began siting solar and wind complexes using its own Mineral Soil Groups (MSGs) classification system, going against the USDA soil classification system that the rest of the country uses. The NYS Dept. of Ag + Markets helped rollout the MSG system that downgrades what's considered prime farmland by USDA standards. As you can see, pre-2020, the Dept. of Ag + Markets was not yet compromised. That's why they went on record expressing their grave concern with the siting of Horseshoe Solar. Not even 2 years later and the department was involved in downgrading statewide soils of importance. It was all made possible with the 2019 Climate Act. Horseshoe Solar is currently being built on prime farmland. They drilled under the Genesee River 7 times with a 42.8% failure rate (Horizontal Directional Drilling). ALL New York agencies, from the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation to the Dept. of Ag + Markets have been told to stand down, from the governor's office, to make way for solar and wind complexes. Our state is being held hostage by foreign renewable corporations. Please read the quotes, directly from the Dept. of Ag + Markets in 2019, below.
