NY Post 3/1/2020
Gov. Andrew Cuomo late last month amended his state-budget proposal to let him ram through approval of wind and solar “farms†over local objections. It’s a classic Cuomo power grab — outrageous both on the merits and in how he aims to pull it off.
As Robert Bryce has noted in The Post, many upstate and Long Island communities have been fighting to stop proposed solar- and (especially) wind-power plants that residents fear would scar or otherwise harm their communities.
But Cuomo is committed to the insane goal of having 70 percent of New York’s energy come from renewable sources by 2030. So he’s looking to cut the public out of the plant-approval process, which now requires an OK by a board that includes two local representatives.

Forcing citizens to 'accept' windmills yet does not have the decency to allow them to drill for their own oil and gas on their own property.
Totalitarian.
