MORE ON THE CLEAN PATH THREAT---THE EXAMINER NEWS--HIGH VOLTAGE CABLE PATH FOR "CLEAN ENERGY PLAN" RAISES CORTLANDT'S IRE

Welcome to The New Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.


High-Voltage Cable Path for Clean Energy Plan Raises Cortlandt’s Ire

A plan to run a high-voltage cable from upstate to New York City to help New York State drastically cut carbon emissions has Cortlandt officials deeply troubled about the safety of their community.

The $11 billion clean energy initiative Clean Path NY project would construct 175 miles of underground and underwater high-voltage cable starting in Delaware County and may pass through Lents Cove in Buchanan on its way southward to its termination point in Queens.

“This is unacceptable,” Cortlandt Supervisor Richard Becker said at the July 19 Town Board meeting. “We are going to fight this one.”

Becker cited the close proximity of the planned cable to the underground Algonquin gas pipeline and the massive amounts of radioactive spent fuel rods at the decommissioned Indian Point Nuclear Power Plant. He warned of the combined risk of three major energy sources traversing the same territory.

Clean Path NY is a partnership with the New York Power Authority (NYPA), Invenergy, which develops, owns and operates power generation utilities, and energyRe. In a recent meeting with NYPA Director Anthony Hill and Matt Powers, director of community affairs at Invenergy, Becker said he objected to bringing the cable out of the Hudson River at Lents Cove.

“Clean Path was insistent that the cable had to come out at Lents Cove,” he said. “They told me ‘Too bad, we’re big New York State with $11 billion behind us. You’re not going to stop it.’”

The exchange prompted Becker to write a letter to Powers and Hill detailing the town’s safety concerns for communities that would be impacted if the cable surfaced at Lent’s Cove. He made it clear that the Town of Cortlandt was tired of “repeatedly being excessively identified as a site for projects involving energy.” READ MORE AT https://www.theexaminernews.com/high-voltage-cable-path-for-clean-energy-plan-raises-cortlandts-ire/

FAUCI IN THE NEWS: MAKES ASTONISHING CLAIM---"I DIDN'T RECOMMEND LOCKING ANYTHING DOWN DURING COVID"

In an interview Monday on The HillTV's Rising, Dr. Anthony Fauci claimed that he "didn't recommend locking anything down" through the course of the COVID-19 pandemic. Fauci is, of course, free to claim what he wants and spin history however he pleases, but he's not entitled to his own facts.

In no particular order, here are 9 times Dr. Fauci made public statements that included recommending or affirming lockdown and closure decisions due to COVID-19.

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT, PLANS FOR UNDERWATER, UNDERGROUND HIGH VOLTAGE TRANSMISSION LINE UNVEILED, CLEAn PATH, FRONT PAGE, THE GAZETTE

Welcome to The New Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.

You are encouraged to read the front page article in THE GAZETTE, WEEK OF 7/21 THROUGH 27, 2022.

As you know, we touched upon this project's possible Coton intrusion when rumors surfaced last year.  

The Gazette now has a very thorough article on the CLEAN PATH NEW YORK 175-mile long transmission line bringing solar and wind power from Delaware County to Queens.   It will provide 1300 megawatts. For comparison's sake, each of the two former Indian point generatng units was rated at 1,000 megawatts.

PLANS FOR UNDERWATER/UNDERGROUND HIGH VOLTAGE TRANSMISSION LINE UNVEILED (CLICK on the map from the article.)

The exact route is unclear.  However, it appears it will traverse the unincorporated portion of the Town of Cortlandt, Lent's Cove, as well as the villages of Buchanan and Croton.

There will be a public information meeting in Ossining on 7/26 (part of the line will impact Ossining and Peekskill).  Again, please read the detailed article for more info. The Gazette does not have an online presence. However, it is on sale just about everywhere.

Regarding requests for the Bronx paper on the Clear Path Project, "AN UNJUST TRANSITION", there's this one Analysis-of-Environmental-Impact-of-Proposed-HVDC-Converter-Station-Final-1.pdf (bxius.org)

As always, please do your own research.
