Balancing Green Goals with Gray Areas - Talking Renewable Energy and impact on Madison County

Madison County Milk House

We welcome you to the Madison County Milk House, hosted by Samantha Field the Madison County, NY Public Information Office. This is where we talk about the big topics both North and South of Rt. 20.
Did you know that the first wind farm in New York State is in Madison County? It went online in the Town of Fenner in 2000. Since then multiple wind farms and solar farms have popped up across our rural landscape. There are more projects on the horizon.
On the Milk House this week is a panel of members and leaders in our community who are concerned about how New York State is dealing with renewable energy. They are asking the State to give municipalities their right to "home rule" once again, and to slow down and take a real look at what zero emissions truly means for our communities.
Take a listen to our panel about what the true issues are for our rural community when it comes to renewable energy projects and how they impact you, your home, and your wallet.
Panel:
- James J. Cunningham, Chairman of the Board of Supervisors and Town of Nelson Supervisor
- Dave Jones, Town of Fenner Supervisor
- Matthew Roberts, City of Oneida Supervisor
- Nadine Bell, Attorney for many Madison County municipalities
- Sue Yaulis, Town of Fenner Planning Board
