Not in the backyard of Bruce!
The Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman is increasing his campaign against green energy in his grass, including a planned coast of Windmill Farm Island and possible storage facilities of lithium -ion batteries.
“We do not do it because the battery storage facilities in Nassau. We do not do it because the wind turbines against Nassau. We do not do it because the electricity lines for these facilities that Nassau are going through,” Blakeman told the post before a press conference on Wednesday in Long Beach against the Aororation.
It will join the members of the Protect Our Coast Long Island group.
Blakeman is pointing to a massive wind energy project in federal river roads 15 miles from the Long Beach coast called Empire Wind 1.
President Trump issued an executive order on his first day in the position of blocking or stopping all the lease of wind energy in federal river roads.
But Equinor, based in Norway, had already obland all the necessary federal lease and allowed the approvals of the federals to erect 54 giant wind turbines before the prohibition entered into force, the post reported.
The construction that places the bases for the turbines is underway.
Equinor will deliver the energy connecting to the electric grid of with Edison through a cable link from the ocean bottom to the substation at the marine terminal South Brooklyn in Sunset Park.
But Republican Blakeman, a Trump friend who is looking at governor next year, argued that wind mills destroy aquatic life and birds and hurt the local fishing industry.
“I oppose the Empire Wind. Long Island project gets the load and none of the benefits,” he said.
Blakeman also aims at the new lithium -ion battery storage facilities, which have a bone cut in the large apple to the wrath of the locals that fear that they can trigger toxic inferns in residential neighborhoods.
Blakeman and her firefighter marshal claim that lithium lithium storage stores are a dangerous danger.
“There is no way of excess thesis fires. You have to let them run out,” Blakeman said.
“Such explosion could set a whole neighborhood.”
According to the climatic law, New York must reduce greenhouse gas emissions 40% by 2030 and have 100% zero emissions electricity by 2040.
The rules require New York to generate 9,000 megawatts of wind energy on the high seas by 2035, 6,000 megawatts of solar energy by 2025 and build 3000 megawatts of energy storage by 2030.
