I would think solar development as far north as NY would be of marginal value, as Germany is busy demonstrating? Solar farms here in NC more or less seem to work as intended, given that we have a large nuclear plant right in the middle of the state to anchor baseload. But some of them are still failing, being dismantled and the panels sold off for private use.
Once again, a great article by Roger. In the meantime, what the hell is "Wind Repower"?
As I have said before, if Wells and her cohorts want to save farms (She says she is a "farmer"? What kind of farmer anyway? A Worm Farmer perchance) then we need to split the State along Constitutionally recognized County lines. North New York is its own separate entity and should be governed as one. While the Creatures from Planet Ithaca will not go away initially, we can out number them since their financial and political lifelines are connected to pompous Uber riche', Marxists on the Upper East Side or from Southern Westchester.
Wind repower refers to the situation where the developer takes down existing turbines and replaces them with new ones. To get improved performance that means that have to be taller. That means the spacing has to change so it is pretty much a new development at an existing site
Cornell is a great University. Good academics. Don't care for their work in genetic therapy for farm animals or plants though. Think someday things will go horribly wrong. Regular ecology studies though are first rate as is their ornithology lab. Giving here too a nod to Engineering Professor Emeritus Ingraffia who put together the best compendium of studies of impacts of fracking

(Just like wind and solar farms siting, there are places that oil and gas production via fracking is just a horrible idea. You want it banned in broken geology in sole source aquifers that tens of thousands depend on today for drinking waterand in the future)
-
Now, if you talk Ithaca College, that's quite another story.
Minds in New York are truly twisted. Hopefully they stay put and don’t leave en masse when the reality of physics wins over utopian, and frankly, arrogant dreams. We don’t need this behavior anywhere else.

Then I guess the same can be said about geothermal then. Right??

Science will be falsified.
