NYSERDA has released its feasibility study in regards to the Great Lakes Wind project. Based on this release of the study it would appear that at this time it is not viable to place wind turbines in Lakes Erie and Ontario based on several factors including and not limited to overall costs, supply chain issues, port access, inter-connects, site placement, fishery data, bird and bat data, human usage for recreation data and lastly contaminates from the bottom of the lake being re-suspended into the water column. More information will follow but this is the first step in ensuring the safety and protection of our Great Lakes resources for current and future generations.
