纽约州可再生能源办公室批准了位于格伦的250兆瓦Mill Point Solar I项目，该项目由Repsol拥有，位于奥里斯维尔附近超过2000英亩的土地上，预计每年为33,724户家庭供电，减少217,280公吨碳排放。 The New York State Office of Renewable Energy Siting approved the 250-megawatt Mill Point Solar I Project in Glen, a Repsol-owned solar facility on over 2,000 acres near Auriesville, expected to power 33,724 homes and cut 217,280 metric tons of carbon annually. 尽管国家官员强调创造就业机会、税收和清洁能源进步,但当地居民、农民和官员反对该项目,理由是农田损失、对农村性质的威胁以及对国家压倒一切的地方土地使用法的关切,包括蒙哥马利州的累积影响规则。 While state officials highlight job creation, tax revenue, and clean energy progress, local residents, farmers, and officials oppose the project, citing farmland loss, threats to rural character, and concerns over the state overriding local land-use laws, including Montgomery County’s cumulative impact rule. 批评者认为批准程序存在缺陷,在法律上有疑问,该镇和县计划采取潜在的法律行动。 Critics argue the approval process was flawed and legally questionable, with the town and county planning potential legal action.
