The Town Needs Our Help Fighting Albany Overreach

How You Can Help
While You're Weren't Watching....
New York State passed the RAPID act in 2024. Once promulgated by ORES (Office of Renewable Energy Siting and Electric Transmission), this will give the State the power to overrule local authority to site facilities like BESS battery storage facilities and underground high voltage wires across Long Island.
California used a similar law to permit and build battery storage facilities and has now experienced numerous battery fires, including the one pictured above at Moss Landing on Jan 16, 2025, which burned for four days and then spontaneously reignited on Feb. 18, 2025.
And don't be fooled. All of the infrastructure will be incredibly expensive. When is the last time a government project was completed any near budget? Electric bills will be going up, up, up.
If we don't act, Albany will dictate that these facilities be built across NY state, including Long Island.
What Can You Do To Help?
“This technology is ahead of government’s ability to regulate it and industry’s ability to control it,” Monterey County Supervisor Glenn Church said after the Moss Landing fire. “This process we are now in, which is learning as we go, just doesn’t work. It jeopardizes communities,” he said

We need you to contact State Senators, and Assembly persons and Gov. Hochul...
You need to tell Town Boards...
You need to tell County Leaders...
...that you oppose risking local health and safety in a misguided attempt to force a battery storage technology that is not fully tested, not fully refined, and not ready for implementation.
