"I'd still rather see thousand-acre solar complexes than fracking!" A lot of people comment this under my posts. I get why they comment it. They aren't aware of the drilling that's occurring to install commercial-scale solar and wind complexes around New York State. The irony has to be called out. New York State pushes back on fracking because of concerns about subsurface unpredictability, lack of confidence in containment underground, and fear of fluid migration into groundwater. As the state says, the "long-term environmental unknowns" aren't worth it. If this doesn't prove that virtue-signaling is at the center of the energy debate in this state, I don't know what does. At Horseshoe Solar in Rush and Caledonia, New York, a major renewable corporation performed Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) 7 times under the Genesee River. "Why is a solar company 400 feet down?" They were attempting to connect the solar arrays on both sides of the river. They drilled down into karst soils and were warned by dozens of people and experts that this carried significant risk. Invenergy drilled anyway. You know why? They want their green energy subsidies and credits... and they know ORES (Office of Renewable Energy Siting) isn't going to monitor what they are doing. As of last month, 3 of the 7 HDD holes were filling with water. This past February, Invenergy punctured their aquifer. ORES gave Invenergy the OK to insert hydrophobic polyurethane foam and chemical grout to plug the aquifer puncture. Multiple homes suffered water quality impacts or loss of water. Once you puncture a confined water system and inject chemicals to fix it, you are operating in a system where flow paths are invisible and predicted behavior is modeled... not observed. Wait a minute... doesn't that sound EXACTLY like what New York is trying to avoid with fracking? Bingo! Groundwater to surrounding properties was contaminated. The material Invenergy is using to plug "these holes" isn’t just cement... it’s a polyurethane-based foam that’s injected as a liquid, travels through the ground, and then expands to seal water pathways. How far does it travel before settling? What pathways does it follow in fractured or karst ground? The very scenario they told you was worth shutting down the entire natural gas debate is playing out in real-time, as we speak, in Western New York. New York State is IN on the money grab that's occurring between green energy subsidies and credits and foreign corporations. A very small group of people are getting very rich while they hand over our prime farmland, wetlands, and grasslands to companies that originate far away from New York State. The result? A mutilated river, aquifer, and bedrock that's also the exact site of a Seneca Nation burial ground. ORES doesn't care. They answer to no one. And that's exactly how @KathyHochul likes it.
