Millionaires in Connecticut Risk Health of Finger Lakes Residents

In The Media / April 14, 2022

Two millionaires from Connecticut are expanding their gas-fired power plant operations along Seneca Lake just so their bitcoin operation can be more profitable. This is a picture of their swanky office: https://www.fastcompany.com/…/private-equity-firms-new….

We need YOU to sign on to our letter to Cuomo to put a stop to their predatory expansion on Seneca Lake.

WHAT’S AT STAKE?

OUR ENVIRONMENT: the amount of energy required for this expansion is enough to power 93,000 homes using an antiquated, inefficient gas-generated facility that will emit thousands of tons of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere every year.-

OUR LAKE: hot water will get discharged into a trout stream that leads directly into Seneca Lake. Not only will this kill the fish, but the hot water will increase the incidences of HABs.-

OUR ECONOMY: We here in the Fingerlakes rely on our agri-tourism industry. Even in a pandemic, we were able to thrive by offering a safe haven where our wineries, farm to table restaurants, and lodgings creatively continued to thrive. This facility threatens our driving economic engine with its industrialization.-

OUR PEACEFUL WAY OF LIFE: the extreme noise generated from this facility will carry across still waters, disturbing residents, visitors, and wildlife.
