I think the previous post was making reference to using existing reservoirs when possible and only building ANY new project if using existing reservoirs cannot provide enough new power.<BR/><BR/>And let's think about this for a second. If someone owns a parcel of unimproved land, don’t they have the right to use any part of their property for hunting and other purposes without being subjected to a possible unsafe condition? That’s why I would lose sleep. It is not just about future residential development on that property. But there are cases where someone might have bought a small parcel to build a home that will now be subjected to unsafe setbacks in your world.<BR/><BR/>“In this case, the market would dictate that developing this parcel would be unprofitable, if there are wind turbines.”<BR/><BR/>So are you now in agreement that property values will go down near a wind turbine?!?<BR/><BR/>“society is entitled to ask that property owner to bear for a good reason.”<BR/><BR/>Is it a good reason to subject anyone to a nuisance that may not be necessary in the first place if there are other viable options to use existing hydro capacity that have not been excluded first?<BR/><BR/>“All of this assumes that it is okay to ever change a zoning ordinance, which many commenting on this blog do not seem to believe.”<BR/><BR/>I can’t speak for others but it is not my contention that a zoning ordinance cannot be changed, but it is all about the manner in which it is started and pursued. The sorry way it started in Richmondville and the path it was on was only corrected due to public outcry that the former supervisor claimed did not exist. Granted it is all water under the bridge now and the current town body is doing a better job. But a lot of headaches could have been avoided right from the get go if gov’t boards stop having knee jerk reactions to every proposal that blows this way {pun intended}. Look at the proposal, consider the implications, get the public involved, discuss thoroughly, have the facts, determine if a zoning change is good, and then act. Don’t bend over backwards to force it through with minimal discussion in hopes no one realizes what is going on. Man that is wrong. Perhaps I’ll stop dwelling on what almost happened soon but it is scary how it was going and my kids would be impacted playing in their own backyard.<BR/><BR/>“Regarding the CSP's quarry expansion plans and the dam, these are really separate issues and should be addressed separately where they can get the focus they deserve.”<BR/><BR/>Yes and please focus on them soon.

I support and applaud these efforts. <BR/><BR/>The problem with hydro is that the potential for displacing large numbers of people as well as ecosystems is very large. <BR/><BR/>In Schoharie County, the hamlet of Gilboa was evacuated to make way for the reservoir & dam. This is a sacrifice that goes way beyond the inconveniences of living near a wind turbine. <BR/><BR/>"Projects may be located on more than just the Huse property"<BR/><BR/>Correct you are, and thats a good thing, because Schoharie County as well as the Town of Richmondville has a lot of sites that would be more ideal in terms of minimizing the number of people impacted. <BR/><BR/>"and the issue is setback from other private property, not just residences"<BR/><BR/>Yeah but let's think about this for a second. If someone owns a 300 acre parcel of unimproved land, why should anyone lose sleep over whether or not wind turbines are sited at an adequate distance from that particular property line? <BR/><BR/>Future residential development on that property? Any kind of future development, on a large enough scale to be pre-empted by wind turbines would probably have a much larger negative effect than the turbines themselves. <BR/><BR/>In this case, the market would dictate that developing this parcel would be unprofitable, if there are wind turbines. <BR/><BR/>The effect would be no different than if the parcel were downzoned. Yes, the property bears some diminished value, but any basic use of local police power (be it a downzoning of that piece of land or a specific rezoning of an adjacent parcel) is a burden that society is entitled to ask that property owner to bear for a good reason. <BR/><BR/>All of this assumes that it is okay to ever change a zoning ordinance, which many commenting on this blog do not seem to believe. <BR/><BR/>"Zoning way in advance is called planning. A political board quickly changing zoning for any purpose based on one request typically runs contrary to good planning."<BR/><BR/>Nice tight argument. However, I don't think Richmondville is changing its zoning that quickly. There is currently a Town-appointed committee of citizens investigating setbacks and other necessary protections to be put in place if the zoning ordinance is updated to permit wind turbines. "Good planning" does not mean a community can never stray from its original plan. As long as major changes (such as this) are based on articulable standards designed to protect the public, they must be considered part of a reasonable community planning process. <BR/><BR/>Regarding the CSP's quarry expansion plans and the dam, these are really separate issues and should be addressed separately where they can get the focus they deserve.Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16991111968506879849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8422478120559600333.post-47497463383404442882008-04-15T21:59:00.000-07:002008-04-15T21:59:00.000-07:00The Forgotten Renewable? - HydroI enjoy reading p...The Forgotten Renewable? - Hydro<BR/><BR/>I enjoy reading posts about renewables. I'm not an expert in electric production but maybe someone out there has some expertise.<BR/><BR/>Questions and thoughts; there is an existing renewable energy source in Schoharie County called hydro. The Blenheim Pumped Storage Power Project can produce 1,040 megawatts in peak demand. This project also serves as a recreation resource. If we need more electricity can’t this source be used more often instead of just as an emergency back up? <BR/><BR/>Our NewYork City reservoir is a stored power source that is not used for electric generation. A small power plant on the Ashoken Reservoir produces 5 megawatts of electricity (5 wind turbines?) and the Hinckley Reservoir has a 9 MW facility. Can’t we tap into our NYC reservoir for electric too?<BR/><BR/>If these projects are not able to be used efficiently, wouldn’t one more hydro project somewhere in NY be less controversial, use less land and be more efficient than building 600 wind turbines? I might be wrong but when I mess with the electricity calculations on a 1.5 MW wind turbine per year versus some hydro options and their elec. production per year it seems to take a lot of wind turbines to produce the amount of electric one hydro plant can produce. The recreation opportunities with hydro are better too. Plus reservoir construction means people have to be bought out and if you are a neighbor you get water front property and views. Smells like property price increases to me. <BR/><BR/>Not saying that wind can’t be part of the solution too, but if we have potential resources already in existence why are we thinking first of building new projects in new locations? And if we talk about building new projects in new locations shouldn’t we build projects with the most bang for the buck (like 1 hydro plant)?<BR/><BR/>How about a discussion on the feasibility of solar on large existing buildings (wal-mart buildings, county building).<BR/><BR/>Not explorin' all of these options first seems stupid to me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8422478120559600333.post-91343409454236278432008-04-15T20:24:00.000-07:002008-04-15T20:24:00.000-07:00"How many residences are actually located within 1..."How many residences are actually located within 1300 feet from the Huse property line?" <BR/><BR/>Projects may be located on more than just the Huse property and the issue is setback from other private property, not just residences.<BR/><BR/>Zoning way in advance is called planning.

Use this link to view a map of the Huse parcel which allows you to measure distances. <BR/><BR/>http://www.schohariecounty-ny.gov/remote/RPSOpeningScreen?coSwis=43&Home=http://www.schohariecounty-ny.gov/CountyWebSite/search.jsp<BR/><BR/>From what I can tell there are only 6 residences within under 1300 feet from the Huse parcel line, not necessarily from where turbines would be sited. Now, for all I know, one of these may be the Huse farm house, and others may be only seasonal residences. Is there no way to site these turbines to minimize the impact on the handful of nearby residents? Such as for example by locating them at maximum distance from residences? <BR/><BR/>If the Huse property wind farm turns out to be unacceptable based on whatever setbacks are decided upon, I'm fine with that. At the same time, if 4 or 5 people are inconvenienced by wind turbines...haven't people made larger sacrifices for our country's energy needs? <BR/><BR/> "So you do not find it compelling when an industry decides a local zoning code needs to be changed to accomodate them so they initiate and participate in a campaign of misinformation with some willing goverment participants?"<BR/><BR/>If this were not overblown rhetoric I would have a problem with what you describe. But c'mon, really, how many places that are suitable for wind power are actually currently zoned for wind turbines? If we held to your standards, we'd have no wind power or even any projects, because they would have to be zoned for long in advance. <BR/><BR/>At the end of the day, I like wind power, but don't really care if it is built in Schoharie County. It seems to me that concerns over property values are the predominant focus, an issue which I have no sympathy for. I believe wind power should be developed without any conern whatsoever for property values. <BR/><BR/>The only concern that has merit, is the potential public health threat posed by noise, flicker and ice throws. But how well are these threats understood? Further, are newer model turbines successful at minimizing these threats? <BR/><BR/>Maybe if wind projects are rejected by communities on this basis it will force the wind industry to design and build better turbines. I'm for that.Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16991111968506879849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8422478120559600333.post-21444759817864631722008-04-08T13:02:00.000-07:002008-04-08T13:02:00.000-07:00I am for the use of wind power, but against the wa...I am for the use of wind power, but against the way it is being implemented locally. Siting standards vary from place to place with no industry or government standards. It appears that companies are moving as fast as possible by hunting out targets where opposition is low or local zoning is weak. Maybe a large wind facility cannot be sited safely in Richmondville. If the wind turbine manufacturer Vestas instructs employees to minimize time spent within 1,300 feet of a turbine then why ask a resident or my kids or anyone else on my property to be within 1,300 feet? If such distance cannot accomodate a project then I guess we cannot have a project. That does not mean a project will not be appropriate somewhere else. Maybe a company or state agency can purchase property to have appropriate setbacks. It does not mean I am anti-wind if I am against the way projects are currently being pursued. If a local zoning ordinance does not allow the use, then that needs to be made clear before asking a community to change it. Then if they want it to change so be it. The issues are bigger than most small rural areas can handle and the people that need to get a grip are the ones that think a wind project is an ultimate good even if sited in unsafe conditions. I am a NIMBY if it cannot be built in a safe manner.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8422478120559600333.post-42691642222209051532008-04-08T04:04:00.000-07:002008-04-08T04:04:00.000-07:00"I just don't find this issue compelling, if you f..."I just don't find this issue compelling, if you feel that it gives your anti-windmill position legitimacy then keep harping on it."<BR/><BR/>It will be harped on.

Simply label me hysterical.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8422478120559600333.post-4465348683773186592008-04-06T20:45:00.000-07:002008-04-06T20:45:00.000-07:00Thanks for organizing your points so clearly, its ...Thanks for organizing your points so clearly, its very helpful.<BR/><BR/>"First - the wind law was encouraged by a developer with an agenda -- not by the community."<BR/><BR/>Yes, I suppose this is true, but it doesn't take into account the nature of wind energy development. Any wind farm dev. will have to be initiated by the developer as they must first determine where there is enough wind for a project to be feasible. Your attempt to use my own words against me is cute, but not much else. <BR/><BR/>"Second - the "citizens with a stake in the community" are the ones impacted even though not in numbers to be of a concern to you as long as it is not in your backyard."<BR/><BR/>Can't we find a way to accommodate those potentially inconvenienced without slamming the doors on renewable energy? <BR/><BR/>"Third - Richmondville did not explain why a wind law was being proposed. If it was under the circumstances you explained it would have been better to understand and work with. Instead it was proposed "to protect" property owners from a potential nuisance. The direction the town board took with this makes the current legality with the zoning code a very important and legitimate issue."<BR/><BR/>I'm not going to defend every decision by the Town Board, maybe they tried to deceive and maybe they just goofed up. I just don't find this issue compelling, if you feel that it gives your anti-windmill position legitimacy then keep harping on it. <BR/><BR/>"Fourth - if you really want to reduce dependence on fossil fuels - **sorry** throwing up some wind turbines may give you a warm fuzzy but a real solution will require some changes in many lives that many are obviously not willing to do."<BR/><BR/>No, actually developing wind power in line with NYS' renewable portfolio standards WILL help to reduce dependence on fossil fuels. <BR/>Naturally, wind energy is not the be all and end all of clean energy. We have got to focus on solar, bio-mass, fuel cells, efficiency and conservation as well. <BR/><BR/>I hardly think wind turbines have "destructive consequences". Inconveniences maybe. This is actually the kind of hysteria that gets me involved in this in the first place. Just relax and take a deep breath. Let's try and address this issue as rational adults, not stirred up insects. <BR/><BR/>And I will be happy to take part in any panel discussions with Bob and Don providing they'll have me.Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16991111968506879849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8422478120559600333.post-40048101132399217112008-04-06T19:41:00.000-07:002008-04-06T19:41:00.000-07:00I recently stumbled across this blog and I have fo...I recently stumbled across this blog and I have found many of the "conversations" very interesting.<BR/><BR/>One thought - to those who are frequently posting - why not create an identity? I mean a name.<BR/><BR/>Reading the posts made by multiple versions of "Anonymous" makes the connections nearly impossible to make. <BR/><BR/>It seems like there are multiple people posting a variety of thoughts and unique perspectives - all of which would be more clear if they were more differentiated - that is attributed to an individual. <BR/><BR/><BR/>Just a thought.<BR/><BR/>P.S.
